Cloud-Based Warehouse Management Software
Invention of Barcoding System, and how it’s evolution through
“Smartphone-QR Coding System” helps the overall Warehouse Management Process!
Invention of Barcoding System 1948 Everything got started through a small food vendor who realized how difficult it was to keep a track of all his inventories and their prices
And, he decided to find an effective solution to this problem Courtesy: www.engineersgarage.com
He got in touch with the Drexel Institute of Technology to work out a feasible answer to the problemÂ
Bernard Silver from the institute accepted the challenge and started investigating the problem
He just started working to find out an effective solution to keep record of the items being sold. He, along with some of his students realized that the answer belongs to something in ultraviolet rays, scanner and ink
Norman Joseph Woodland, one of the students, came up with an idea of using ultraviolet sensitive ink
And the team brought a working prototype only to realize that it must be too expensive and not very stable for printing. And, all of them decided to stop processing the same.
Except One! Norman Joseph Woodland Woodland just decided to stand at the same thought and believed that it is a workable idea
So, he made a full-stop on his days at the Institute, and decided to concentrate on the barcode solution
By October of 1949, both Bernard Silver and Woodland got into a patent application
They, later came up with an idea of “Morse Code� on a paper. But, instead of using dots and dashes, they extended them and brought a series of broad and thin lines
They again developed a device to scan the broad and lines
And, that made an entry of Barcoding scanning concept
Just a thought from a small food store owner has brought a new era into the business world Everything got faster
Introduction of Barcodes into business have brought a great set of improvements in data processing, especially on large scale industries
And, when this Barcode system is replaced with QR code along with Smartphone scanning aspect, the efficiency become even boosted
How QR Code system could be better than Barcodes
Barcode system stores the data only in 'horizontal' direction. But, when it comes to QR Codes, it stores the data in both 'horizontal' and 'vertical' directions.
Advantages of QR Codes • QR code system is versatile: This can encode different types of data, for example, alphabets, numeric, special, binary etc. • Quick processing: This is extremely faster than other techniques • Tolerance is even better: Even though some of the codes are damaged in one QR code, the information might still be available to decode • Storage capacity of information: This has more capacity to store information than barcodes
