A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR MANAGING THE SERIALISATION AND TRACING OF PACKS OF PRODUCTS TO BE GROUPED AND INSERTED IN A RESPECTIVE CONTAINER

Abstract

The method for managing the serialisation and tracing of packs of products, which are to be gathered in groups of packs to be inserted in respective containers, comprises: picking up, from a first conveyor means (1), a first series of packs of products (P) for which a respective series of reference codes (a, b, c) present thereon has been collected and memorised, and forming a group (P1, P2) of packs of products internally of a seat (21, 22) of the second conveyor means (2), memorising the position of the seat (21, 22) on the second conveyor means (2) and transferring the seat (21, 22) to a transfer station (ST); using a third conveyor means (3) for transferring a container (A1, A2) into the transfer station (ST) and transferring the group (P1, P2) of packs of products for which the reference codes have been memorised from the seat (21, 22) of the conveyor means (2) into the container (A1, A2). The method further comprises, before or after transferring the group (P1, P2) of packs of products into the second container (A1, A2), applying on the container (A1 A2) a tracing code bearing a datum representing the reference codes which had been memorised and which are present in the packs of products of the second group (P1, P2) of packs of products.
