Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009030930A2] This invention relates to an identification and recordal apparatus, and in particular to an apparatus which allows the identification of products and the recordal of the expiry or use-by dates of those products. The apparatus comprises a set of labels, each label having a unique machine-readable code, and a reader adapted to read the machine-readable code whereby each label can be distinguished from the other labels in the set by the reader, the reader having a memory to store the identity of the label and data associated with the label, each label having a detection zone, the detection zone having non-uniform conductivity to a chosen medium whereby the pattern of non-uniform conductivity is detectable to the reader as the machine-readable code. There is also provided a label for use with the apparatus.
