A scanning tool

Question

I am new to programming. I want to develop a tool which allows scanning the date of multiple products. For example, by this tool, I want to check if products on a shelf (let's say 25/30 products) are expiring on a specific date. The purpose of developing this tool is to eliminate the need for manually looking at the date of every single product. So my question is this possible?

Answer 1

Sounds like you want to convert an image into a date for products using a camera, or use an OCR tool.
