Barcode, 2D code or RFID?

Barcode or QR code? A common question when implementing automation of inventory of material assets of an enterprise is which technology to use? What is better, a barcode, QR RFID? Based on our experience, we recommend using a QR code link first. This greatly simplifies inventory and control of material assets.

Let's give an example with a barcode.

The toolbox has an inventory number and a barcode. A data collection terminal and special software are required for verification. As a rule, almost all inventory programs have text fields for the name and description. When scanning the barcode, the program will display the search result: Bosch-125 grinder, date of commissioning and who is financially responsible.

We open the box, and there is nothing in it.

Based on the name and text information, it is difficult to understand what exactly needs to be found? What does the inventory item look like? Another important nuance is the places where the markings are applied. It is very important that the inventory marking is on all items in the set - on the box, on the machine and even on the key and protective cover.

 

Example with a QR code link

You can use a regular smartphone to take inventory. We point the video camera, the system recognizes the link and offers to go to the page. We go to the page and we have complete information about the object - name, description, photographs from different angles and complete set. You can immediately check the appearance, which eliminates substitution and assess the condition of the material asset.
