One of the most crucial components of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) is barcode technology; by analyzing a barcode, we can retrieve encoded data.
We classify barcodes into two groups based on how they are encoded: one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional barcodes. A one-dimensional barcode typically comprises parallel lines with different widths and spacings.
A graphic picture that contains data both horizontally and vertically is a two-dimensional barcode. The following benefits of a two-dimensional barcode over a one-dimensional barcode: high data capacity; lack of further storage; and capacity for error correction.
One of the most often used two-dimensional barcodes is the Quick Response (QR) code. Although the QR code was initially developed for the automotive sector, it is today utilized for a far wider range of purposes, such as identification verification, business tracking, and transportation ticketing.
The benefits of QR codes are numerous. First, the greatest error correction level for QR codes can restore 30% of the original data. Second, because the percentage of position detection patterns is unaffected by the direction of scanning, QR codes can be read from any angle. Third, several encoding types and versions are supported by QR codes. To make the QR code image smaller, we can select the right encoding type and version.
The Global 2D barcode reader market accounted for $2.6 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $4 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.8% from 2024 to 2030.
Two new two-dimensional (2D) scanners have been introduced in India, according to Zebra Technologies Corporation. Zebra’s latest line of 12 extremely tough scanners, the 3600 Series, provides extended durability, improved scan performance, and unmatched manageability in severe industrial situations.
The DS4308-XD, designed specifically for the fabrication of electronic components, can read various barcodes and marks that are imprinted on circuit boards and other electronic parts.
This advanced scanning technology allows for the tracking of every component on the assembly line. Since 2D barcodes can encode more data than 1D barcodes, there has been a continuous transition in the industry.
Accordingly, the global scanner market is rapidly shifting investments, exceeding industry estimates by shifting from conventional laser scanners to camera-based 2D imagers. Additionally, the market for 2D imagers has expanded at a compound annual growth rate of a few percent, outperforming the markets for lasers and all handheld devices combined.
