product identification

Goods tracking system

Product identification is the process or system of marking goods so they can be recognized and tracked.

This includes barcodes, serial numbers, SKU codes, and RFID tags that distinguish one item from another in inventory and supply chains.

The recall required product identification down to the lot number.

In marketing, product identification also refers to how consumers recognize a brand through packaging, logos, or distinctive design.
