Abstract of the Disclosure A system for verifying that the proper ingre- dient-containing transport containers have been assembled at a particular soup-blending kettle, in which a hole- coded metal key is permanently affixed to each container and provided with an array of machine-readable holes cor- responding to a number unique to each container. At the ingredient-dispensing station, a key-reader reads out the identifying number of the container and transmits it to that kettle station to which the container is to be delivered. The transport container is then delivered to the kettle station, where the key code is again machine read; the container number thus read out at the kettle station is compared with that previously transmitted from the ingredient-dispensing station, and if they both repre- sent the same number then the proper container has been delivered to the kettle station and its contents are dump- ed into the kettle. To prevent dumping of ingredients of a "wrong" container, the container can be locked at the dispensing station and only unlocked at the kettle station in response to a control signal indicative of identity between the remotely read key and the key read at the kettle occurs. In other cases an unlocked trans- port container is delivered onto an automatic dumper, which is enabled only in response to an indication by the control signal that the proper container is present.
