Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016189096A1] The present invention relates to a method for verifying products that have an expiry date, which involves: using a terminal (T) including a control unit (Uc) to which a bar code or electronic identifier reader (Le) is connected, a viewing screen (Ev) and an input keyboard (Cs), the reader (Le) being designed to capture the bar codes / electronic identifiers of products displayed for sale in a shop, in order to complete a database (Bd) storing in particular said bar codes / said electronic identifiers and the designation of each product family, the terminal (T) including an application which can be connected to said database; scanning the bar codes / electronic identifiers of all the products for which an employee using the terminal is responsible; entering in the terminal (T) the expiry date (DLC) of each product; and sending said expiry date associated with said bar code / said electronic identifier to the database. According to the invention, the method involves defining, by means of the database and associated parent software (Lm), a warning such that the terminal (T) can request the user employee, by means of the viewing screen (Ev) and on the current date or a selected date, to verify the presence of one or more products identified by the designation(s) thereof, displayed for sale and of which the expiry date (DLC) has passed on said current date or on said selected date.
