1. Method for controlling a production of items on a production line by means of control data comprised on each of said items, said control data including encoded identification data and a brand pattern, the encoded identification data including data corresponding to associated product type identification information and item identification information, the method comprising the steps of:
counting the items on the production line so as to obtain count data; reading out and decoding encoded identification data on an item on the production line so as to obtain the corresponding associated product type identification information and item identification information; said method further comprising the steps of: acquiring a digital image of said item on the production line; detecting a brand pattern in the acquired digital image and identifying a product type corresponding to the detected brand pattern so as to obtain identified product type data; identifying the item in said acquired digital image so as to obtain identified item data; checking if the identified product type data and the identified item data match the corresponding associated product type identification information and item identification information; and in case of matching, determining from said count data, product type identification information, and item identification information a production volume per product type and per associated item.
