PRODUCT COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION VALIDATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17547012 titled 'PRODUCT COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION VALIDATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for product compliance and certification validation using sensors and image recognition technology. Here are the key points:

  • The system inspects a product using various sensors, including an image recognition system, to identify certification labels associated with the product.
  • Information from the sensors, including image data, is correlated with information in a certification database to create correlation data.
  • The correlation data is validated against destination information for the product.
  • If the validation is negative, an indication of invalid to ship status is sent to a predetermined destination.
  • The product is rerouted as a rejected item to a predetermined position for inspection.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Ensuring product compliance and certification in industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
  • Streamlining the validation process by automating the inspection and certification verification.
  • Improving supply chain management by identifying and rejecting non-compliant products before they reach the market.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reducing the risk of non-compliant products reaching the market, which can lead to legal and financial consequences for companies.
  • Minimizing the need for manual inspection and certification validation, saving time and resources.
  • Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of product compliance processes.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved product quality control by accurately identifying and validating certification labels.
  • Increased efficiency in the validation process, leading to faster product delivery.
  • Cost savings through automation and reduction in manual inspection requirements.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach for product compliance and certification validation, a processor, in response to receiving a product at a validation point, inspects the product using a plurality of sensors, including an image recognition system, to identify at least one certification label associated with the product. A processor correlates information received from the plurality of sensors, including image data, against information in a certification database to create correlation data. A processor validates the correlation data against destination information for the product. A processor, in response to receiving a negative validation, sends an indication of invalid to ship status to a predetermined destination. A processor reroutes the product as a rejected item to a predetermined position for inspection.
