Next generation barcodes to meet new expectations
Consumers, brand owners, retailers and regulators: it seems everyone wants to know more about products—and as a result, everyone is looking for better ways to access information about a product by scanning a code on its packaging.
Most barcodes today provide a very limited amount of information. Traditional barcodes are typically scanned by companies and organisations to access supply chain information for business systems. Traditional QR Codes are typically scanned by consumers to access a webpage with product information.
