APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AT LEAST ONE OBJECT IN A PACKAGE

摘要

A method and an apparatus are proposed for detecting at least one object in a package, in which at least one object is provided with an optical code and is disposed in a package. The method includes the steps of first irradiating the code through the package by electromagnetic excitation radiation. The code on being irradiated with the electromagnetic excitation radiation emits electromagnetic radiation, which is of higher or lower energy compared to the excitation radiation. Then the electromagnetic radiation is evaluated for whether the object is located in the package.
