Abstract
A method for detecting mold plate information comprises, in a preferred embodiment, detecting external physical indicia (112) identify a mold plate. The external physical indicia (112) are preferably a pattern of holes or absence of holes formed in a corner protrusion (110), attached to the corner of a mold plate (104). The holes or absence thereof represent a binary sequence identifying the mold plate (104). Preferably, the holes are optically detected by detectors (204) mounted in the guide rail (202) of a mold press.
