A method for identifying and tracking singly conveyed products , in particular medical products such as syringes, ampoules, vials or inhalers, wherein the singly conveyed products are at least partially rotationally symmetrical and have a peripheral surface to which a marking is respectively applied, the method comprising the steps of: conveying the products by means of a transport device in a direction of transport (T), wherein the transport device has a plurality of successive cells , each of the cells receiving one of the products , wherein each product is rotatably received in the associated cell , during conveying, rotating each product by means of a friction element which, as the products are being conveyed, comes into engagement with each product by friction, characterized in that the method comprises the step of reading the marking applied to the peripheral surface of each product by a stationary camera system with at least one camera as the respective product is being rotated, wherein the camera system comprises a plurality of cameras , but at least a first and a second camera, arranged in succession in the direction of transport (T), and wherein the correlation between the translational speed of the transport device , a diameter of the rotationally symmetrical region of each product , a distance (D) between the cells of the transport device , a width (B) of an active field of view of each camera in a region of the products , and a distance between the cameras is set in such a manner that a second circumferential portion of each product sensed by a second active field of view of the second camera during the rotation of the product differs from a first circumferential portion of each product sensed by a first active field of view of the first camera during the rotation of the product . conveying the products by means of a transport device in a direction of transport (T), wherein the transport device has a plurality of successive cells , each of the cells receiving one of the products , wherein each product is rotatably received in the associated cell , during conveying, rotating each product by means of a friction element which, as the products are being conveyed, comes into engagement with each product by friction, characterized in that the method comprises the step of reading the marking applied to the peripheral surface of each product by a stationary camera system with at least one camera as the respective product is being rotated, wherein the camera system comprises a plurality of cameras , but at least a first and a second camera, arranged in succession in the direction of transport (T), and wherein the correlation between the translational speed of the transport device , a diameter of the rotationally symmetrical region of each product , a distance (D) between the cells of the transport device , a width (B) of an active field of view of each camera in a region of the products , and a distance between the cameras is set in such a manner that a second circumferential portion of each product sensed by a second active field of view of the second camera during the rotation of the product differs from a first circumferential portion of each product sensed by a first active field of view of the first camera during the rotation of the product . <EOS>
