Barcode and QR Code Scanning
Linear Barcodes contain single number information (SKU number typically) - Universal Product Codes on goods
2D Barcodes can contain more complex information - URLs and links to Webpages - Images
RFID Scanning
RFID uses a radio signal to communicate between a tag and a reader
Passive RFID gets power from the RF signal to power
the tag (NFC in credit cards is similar)
Active RFID tags have their own internal power source
Conventional tracking technology
MFD markers visible at ~10x greater distances than QR-codes 26.8M vs 3.6M for QR-code
Logistics in Manufacturing
Manufactured products can be tracked through mulitple manufacturing processes - Time stamps - GPS stamps - Multimedia uploads (pictures, video, sound) - Document uploads
Marker Laser Etched on Aluminum Tags
Scanning Station using low cost, commodity electronics
Reusable Laminated Tags for use in harsh Environments
