ABSTRACT:
A system and method of marking goods for authentication and tracking purposes is described. The system and method include a central control which enables the system. The method and system are accomplished in real time, affording manufacturers the ability to eliminate problems associated with counterfeiting and diversion which begin at the manufacturing site. A central control unit enables the system by providing an allotment of goods to a host unit. The host unit directs printing terminals to mark particular goods with specific information encoding symbols. Following marking, goods are scanned to insure proper marking and then packaged for shipment. Following marking, the goods can be checked by illuminating the symbols printed thereon and cross referencing this data with the host database by using a field reading unit.
