AIDC

Content:
Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) is a pioneering technology that has become indispensable in the modern world of logistics and data capture. As a synonym for AutoID, AIDC stands for the automated capture of information, making processes more efficient and error-free.

AIDC is based on the use of various technologies, including barcodes, RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), QR codes and biometrics. Barcodes are widely used and allow products and shipments to be quickly identified by scanning the barcodes. RFID goes one step further by using wireless technology to transmit data without direct visual contact. QR codes offer a compact way to store information and can be easily scanned with smartphone cameras. Biometric AIDC technologies use physiological or behavior-based characteristics such as fingerprints or facial recognition for precise identification.

The areas of application for AIDC extend across various industries. In logistics, it enables the efficient tracking of goods movements, stock levels and deliveries. In healthcare, AIDC improves patient identification and tracking of medication. In retail, it facilitates checkout operations and enables precise inventory management.

AIDC’s integration with enterprise systems enables real-time monitoring, error reduction and accelerated workflows.
