Development of packaging barcode in the hottest ma

The product packaging of market packaging strips should gradually change from the simple, protective and passive packaging situation in the past to the development of branded, market-oriented and active packaging situation codes

some economically developed countries have successively established their own article coding associations and automatic identification Manufacturers Associations, which has effectively promoted the rapid development of automatic identification technology of packaging bar codes

as of 1996, there were 176000 bar code system members in the United States and Canada, with an average annual growth rate of 12.10%. Bar code automatic scanning stores (POS) covered all wholesale and retail enterprises, and nearly 10000 electronic data interchange (eancom) users in the circulation field. By the end of 1996, there were 13030 barcode system members in the UK, with an average annual growth rate of 8.76%. There were 27000 POS stores and 600 eancom users. By the end of 1996, the number of members of the bar code system in France had reached 21292, with an average annual growth rate of 16.99%. Wholesale and retail stores have all realized POS, with 5000 eancom users. By the end of 1996, there were 72929 barcode system members in Germany, with an average annual growth rate of 30.8%. There were 18000 POS stores, 72929 assigned location codes, and 1000 eancom users. By the end of 1996, the number of members of the bar code system in Japan had reached 78600, with an average annual growth rate of 6.84%, and there were 234000 POS stores

the product coverage rate of bar code identification is basically covered by all products that should adopt bar code identification in economically developed countries. Commercial POS, commodity logistics centers, commodity distribution centers, large commercial cities, chain stores and family stores are basically pos. automatic identification technology and equipment are all available, and high-quality experimental machines have formed an independent industry with accurate measurement data. At present, countries all over the world, especially economically developed Johnson Matthey, have invested heavily in countries to focus on the development of bar code technology in the fields of production automation, modernization of transportation, internationalization of Finance and trade, high efficiency of medical treatment and health, popularization of tickets and gold cards, security, anti-theft and confidentiality. In addition to vigorously promoting the 13 digit commodity identification code, it also focuses on promoting the application of 128 codes of trading units, ENA location codes, bar code application marks 2D barcode, etc

some leading countries or regions in the world have been popularized and applied in commercial wholesale, retail and distribution, industrial manufacturing, financial services, government administration, construction and real estate, health care, education and training, media publishing and information services, transportation, tourism and entertainment services, and have achieved very obvious results. As the bar code technology is developing in depth and breadth, it has promoted the development of bar code automatic identification technology and equipment. It is developing in the direction of multi-function, long-distance, miniaturization, simultaneous development of software and hardware, accurate identification, rapid information transmission, safety and reliability, economic adaptation, etc., and there are many new technical equipment. According to the incomplete main content of the International Association of automatic identification manufacturers, the annual sales of bar code automatic identification technology and equipment worldwide has reached more than 20 billion US dollars
