In the worlds of automatic identification and information technology, the question of what is the best machine-readable information packed symbology ever has been answered.


Why?


Well, until someone comes up with a device-readable code that can hold nearly twice as much information as the next available code option, have the code achieve a move tolerance of about two meters a second (approximately six feet a second), and have the code repair itself with as much as 30% of the code image missing ... then one can dispute this claim!


The best symbology ever, really?


The best symbology ever is the QR Code, developed by Denso Wave (a Toyota Group Company), originally intended for use in tracking the complex task of automobile parts manufacturing and sourcing throughout the automobile assembly process.


The code that was originally proprietary has been an open source solution for years (first standard approval by AIM in 1997) and has found great favor in many application quarters, but the most widely used application is found in the confirmation of cellphone-purchase transaction-verification and entry security.


The QR Code uses a true two-dimension (2D) digital matrix pattern symbology as opposed to a high-density or stacked barcode image approach. This code is read by image reading digital cameras as opposed to a single beam of light reading back upon itself in order to sense the reflectivity of an image through a "wave pattern" (laser). The strength of an image reading digital camera device is that they are solid state (no moving parts, which relates to increased reliability) and the imager can read ALL symbologies regardless of image/symbology approach.


As for use in the information technology marketspace (legal, insurance, medical, shipping and etc.), we at Symblogogy ask; what could be a better tool than a full mini traveling database for document identification information and file indexing?
