The invention provides a method and system for permanently and visibly marking reusable plastic milk crates with a unique mark and using said mark to identify and track the crate in a manufacturing environment. The aforementioned mark consists of a two--dimensional barcode comprised of holes which is drilled through the plastic side walls of the crate producing a unique and permanent pattern for identification. The contrast of the drilled pattern provides good visibility for an optical barcode reader. Said reader can identify a crate uniquely and assign waypoint data, process management data, and content data into a coupled computer database. The drilled pattern by means of an optical barcode reader can also be used to recall associated crate data from a coupled computer database. The ability to assign and recall crate specific data by means of a coupled computer database provide tracking capabilities and beneficial business intelligence for manufacturing management systems.
