Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé servant à détecter des produits désignés provenant de plusieurs sources, ce procédé consistant à appliquer (12) un code unique à chacun des produits dans une première position (14). Ce procédé consiste également à déterminer lesquels des produits sont désignés. Ce procédé consiste ensuite à enregistrer les codes des produits désignés, à lire (26) les codes des produits distribués dans une seconde position (16) et à comparer (28) les codes lus avec les codes enregistrés, pour déterminer si l'un et/ou l'autre des produits distribués sont les produits désignés. Cette invention présente également un système de détection des produits désignés.
