subject: 35th Anniversary Of Bar Code Business Prospects Remain Bright [print this page] This is the bar code application in the global retail industry for 35 years. June 26, 1974 morning, a customer at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio, using bar code technology to buy a bag of 10 pcs yellow arrows Wrigley chewing gum, which marks the first global retail bar code scanning success. At that time, few could have foreseen, will affect the application of bar code retail industry and other vertical industry business model.
Today, bar code and automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology worldwide play an important role. Although the technology is constantly changing, but the application of bar codes are more extensive. In fact, worldwide, every day scanning the bar code number has exceeded 100 billion range of applications more than 25 industries, including consumer goods, Clothing Hardware, Food Services, health care, logistics, government and high technology Electronic Products industries. Bar code applications to help consumers, retailers and manufacturers reduce costs and improve production efficiency.
With the vigorous development of bar code applications and bar code technology matures, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions through the acquisition of Symbol Technologies, established its retail bar code in the promotion of technological innovation and leadership in global applications. From the successful launch of the first commercial hand-held laser scanner Symbol LS7000 start, Motorola has taken the forefront of technological innovation in the AIDC, a landmark in the industry and innovative technology products, including the first application in harsh environments common solid laser scanner, and the first built-in laser scanner for mobile data terminals, bar code and scanner Motorola so the formation of the integral between the close.
1991, the former Symbol Technologies introduced a new set of bar code symbols, greatly promoted the development of advanced data acquisition technology. With the development of two-dimensional barcode, PDF417, as a high-density, high capacity "mobile data File "Cut a striking figure in the market, Motorola's products through the vertical industries and enterprises to help achieve access to a wealth of information at lower cost and without reference to the aspirations of the external database. The traditional bar code is to obtain an external database resources," key ", and all information will be PDF417 files stored in the barcode into. Currently, PDF417 bar code has become the world's most widely used two-dimensional bar code.
Today, many types of two-dimensional bar code used in many areas of the world. In the U.S., store staff can use the bar code stored in the back of the driver's license information to Management Items returned, verify customer age (for age restricted products, such as alcohol), and automatically generate a credit card or membership card forms. Two-dimensional bar code are also more used in mobile areas such as activities / tickets and air tickets issued by airlines. In addition, with retailers and target customer base for direct and effective communication needs of a significant increase in the two-dimensional bar code in the mobile coupons sent to customers of mobile phones will become increasingly popular.
With AIDC technology continues to evolve, we believe, in the near future, customers will receive their mobile devices more and more merchants and manufacturers coupons, paper coupons will be history. The future, tourists will simply scan the bar code mobile phone check-in process can be completed. The only mode of bar code technology in business operations and communication with customers on one of the many applications.
Addition to one-dimensional and two-dimensional bar code technology, radio frequency identification technology (RFID) applications in the market, more and more. By using appropriate software, RFID technology can help companies track products or real-time inventory to reduce loss. Through the identification of counterfeit bills, RFID technology can help businesses and consumers to reduce unnecessary losses. More importantly, RFID technology can streamline supply chain processes, reduce costs, the companies bring unparalleled competitive advantage. Advantages of RFID technology to make the technology at the airport, manufacturing, supply chain, medical and health industry and the retail environment will be used increasingly. With the extensive application of RFID, more and more companies recognize, RFID technology can create value for enterprises and help businesses succeed. RFID technology has broad prospects.
As the market develops further, we firmly believe that more companies will be more effective through the use of technology to promote higher level customer service. Motorola will take the forefront of innovation, developing more consistent with industry characteristics, including bar code technology, enterprise mobility solutions to meet the changing needs of the market. As a pioneer in the field of AIDC technologies, Motorola will, as always, continue to promote technology innovation and development of data collection.
