Summary:A method and apparatus (10) for defining the processing of an ingredient of a manufactured product, particularly one that is manufactured "one-the-spot" to a consumer's specification, such as ice-cream, among other products. A tag (36) encoded on a container (30, 32, 34) for the product carries indicia that, directly or indirectly, define one or more formulations for the product. Apparatus (10) into which the ingredient is loaded sets the processing of ingredients in accordance with the formulations so specified. By connecting the apparatus which is to process the ingredients to a control station, the formulations may be changed at will. L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de définir la transformation d'un ingrédient d'un produit manufacturé, en particulier un produit fabriqué "sur-le-champ" à la demande du client, tel que de la glace. Une étiquette codée, placée sur un contenant destiné à contenir le produit, comporte des indications qui, directement ou indirectement, définissent une ou plusieurs formulations relatives au produit. Un appareil dans lequel l'ingrédient est introduit définit la transformation des ingrédients conformément aux formulations ainsi spécifiées. En raccordant l'appareil destiné à transformer les ingrédients à une station de commande, il est possible de modifier les formulations à volonté.
