Abstract: System and method for checking completeness in a package, which comprises a plurality of objects, which are each provided with at least one electronic information storage medium. The method includes the steps of (a) storing in at least one electronic information storage medium, the total number of objects contained in the package and/or the total number of objects provided for the package; (b) detecting the total number of objects contained in the package by reading the stored value from the at least one electronic information storage medium in which the total number has been stored; (c) counting the objects in the package by reading the electronic information storage media arranged on the objects; and (d) outputting a first predetermined signal if the detected total number is not equal to the counted number and/or a second predetermined signal is output if the detected total number is equal to the counted number.

Abstract: An identification system for identifying objects, according to one embodiment, includes a plurality of objects to be identified within an area, with a transponder being fitted to one respective object and operable to transmit a code radio frequency signal representing an identification code. The system includes an activation part that is remote from the respective object and is operable to transmit an activation radio frequency signal via a wireless connection to the transponder of the respective object so that the transmitting part transmits the code radio frequency signal. A receiving part that is remote from the respective object is operable to receive the code radio frequency signal via a wireless connection.

Abstract: A system for identifying objects with high reliability contains a transmitting part which is fitted to the respective object to be identified and can transmit a code radio frequency signal. The system further includes an activation part which can transmit an activation radio frequency signal to the transmitting part of a respective object which is moving past the activation part in order to cause the transmitting part to transmit the code radio frequency signal. The system also includes a receiving part which can receive the respective code radio frequency signa and a variation device which can vary the distance between successive objects and/or relative alignment between an electromagnetic field which is produced and the object moving past.
