Barcodes and manufacturing are coming to work hand in hand. The use of new barcoding technologies have revolutionised the warehousing and manufacturing industries.
Qualitymag.com took a look at some emerging trends in barcode technology, and how the use of barcodes has transformed manufacturing.
Some of the highlights:
- More industries are adopting the data matrix barcodes for true traceability
- The advances in DSP technology and speed of CMOS imagers have enabled image based barcode readers to be able to perform the high speed 1-D barcode reading
- 2-D, barcodes have provided significant advantages over 1-D codes
- DSPs and LED technology has allowed image based barcode scanners to become extremely small and mobile
- Barcodes are storing more information allowing for improved traceability, real time inventory tracking, and long term quality checking
