These symbologies stack data horizontally and vertically, limiting the physical space barcodes need. Tightening regulations, production advancements of Industry 4.0, and the need for near-instant decision-making have industries flocking to 2D barcodes. Indeed, the supermarket’s ubiquitous 1D linear barcode no longer meets today’s demands. “The more data that’s encoded in my barcode, for me to use that data, I need a way to parse, sort, and contextualize it,” explains Vernon Witney, solutions architect at Code Corporation. This diversity and complexity make data-parsing devices key to the kingdom. There are now 40 barcode types (also called symbologies) holding anywhere from 2,000–7,089 characters of vital info like manufacture date.
JavaScript enables Code’s barcode scanners to parse data upon scan. For instance, barcodes are long-proven to reduce medication administration errors by up to 85%, prompting the FDA to mandate them nearly 20 years ago. Since springing from a line drawn on the sand of a Miami beach, the humble barcode has corralled the world’s mission-critical data within blocks and bars to serve humanity.
