The order slip includes information such as the number of products to be ordered and the number.

The worker on the delivery side prepares the product 3 to be delivered in accordance with the order slip, and packs the product 3. Here, the product 3 is provided with an ID tag 4 as an electronic tag that stores product information necessary for specifying the product 3. Although not shown in detail, the ID tag 4 has an antenna for communicating with the outside, a transceiver connected to the antenna, a storage unit (memory) for storing product information, A processing unit (CPU) that writes product information in the storage unit when a write command is received, and performs processing to transmit the product information stored in the storage unit to an external device when a read command is received from outside Have been. Further, the ID tag 4 is configured to receive a power supply from outside via an antenna, generate a power supply voltage, and supply power to the above-described units. The configuration of the ID tag 4 itself is the same as that of various types that have been conventionally proposed as wireless tags.

Then, after packing the product 3, the product information is wirelessly transmitted from the ID tags 4 attached to the plurality of packed products 3 using a tag reader / writer (hereinafter, referred to as a tag reader / writer) 5. read. The product information read by the tag reader / writer 5 is transmitted to the terminal 2 on the delivery side. The terminal 2 on the delivery side compares the product information with the order slip, and checks the contents as to whether the product 3 is correctly packed.

Further, after confirming the contents, the terminal 2 on the delivery side confirms the contents, the contents information indicating the commodity list of the packed goods 3, the delivery source (that is, the delivery side), and the delivery destination (that is, the reception side). ), And create distribution information such as delivery number and delivery date. An ID tag 7 for a package is attached to the package 6 in which the product 3 is packed. I for this package
