Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02073551A1] In a system for tracking articles and verifying the authenticity of articles individual article numbers (3) are affixed to each article (1). The articles are packed into containers (4), and an individual container number (5) is affixed to each container. A database is provided for storing the article numbers and the corresponding container numbers. Using the database, the container number (5) can be used for easily for tracking all articles within a container. For verifying an article or container, the article number (3) and the container number can be fed to the database for verification. This increases the reliability as compared to systems based on a single number while being easy to implement.
