Abstract: A method of managing products includes providing a plurality of products in a first arrangement in an environment. Each product includes a respective code indicative of a date. Each code has a first appearance under ambient lighting conditions in the environment and a second appearance when exposed to a predetermined radiation source. The second appearance is more visible to an observer in the environment than the first appearance. The predetermined radiation source is applied to the code to reveal the second appearance of the code. Each of the plurality products is viewed to determine if the respective code meets predetermined criteria. The products are moved into a second arrangement in the environment based on whether the respective code meets the predetermined criteria.

Abstract translation: 管理产品的方法包括在环境中以第一布置提供多个产品。 每个产品包括指示日期的相应代码。 每个代码在环境中的环境照明条件下具有第一外观，并且当暴露于预定的辐射源时具有第二外观。 环境中的观察者比第一次出现更为可见。 将预定的辐射源施加到代码以显示代码的第二次出现。 观察多个产品中的每一个以确定相应代码是否满足预定标准。 基于各个代码是否满足预定标准，将产品移动到环境中的第二布置中。
