ABSTRACT:
An item contents verification system, and associated method, for use in an assembly line of carrier-totes (if used) each containing at least one of a plurality of items having a labeling. Also, a labeling for use with a computerized inspection apparatus for verification of items, and associated method. The system includes: (a) the labeling comprising a luminescent marking and a human-visible indicia; (b) the luminescent marking comprises a coded-indicia generally invisible to a human eye without an irradiation, each of these coded-indicia contains item-information about the item to which the labeling is applied, multiple such coded-indicia will be substantively identical; (c) an inspection apparatus adapted for automatically collecting item-information from luminescent coded-indicia oriented outwardly from items passing in proximity to the inspection apparatus; (d) in communication with the inspection apparatus is a processor unit used for comparing an order of selected items against the item-information collected about all items; if the item-information collected matches the order of selected items, that carrier-tote contents is deemed verified. A reject spur is included to which any respective carrier-tote, or any respective item not matched to an order, is routed if the contents of the carrier-tote is not deemed verified.
