Abstract
Provided is a method and a system for automatically tracing food items transported by a transporting mechanism such as a conveyor, where data attribute is acquired for the food items at at least one first position. The acquired data attribute is associated to the food items. A second data attribute of the same type(s) as the first data attribute is acquired at a second position and associated to the food items. A correlation is performed between the first data attribute and the second data attribute to determine if the data attributes match to determine if food items match. The correlation is performed within a pre-defined correlation window around an estimated arrival point at said second position.
