Abstract
A system includes a vision system, a database, a chip reader, and a computer system. The computer system accesses an image of a two-dimensional barcode captured by the vision system and determines barcode information for a group of cards. The barcode information comprises a chip expiration date that applies to the cards in the group of cards. The computer system accesses particular chip information read by the chip reader for a particular card of the group of cards and verifies that the particular chip information matches the barcode information. The computer system updates the database to include the chip expiration date for the group of cards. The computer system analyzes a plurality of chip expiration dates stored in the database and determines, based on the analysis, an order in which to pull groups of cards from inventory in order to issue cards to users.
