Honeywell is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the barcode and the role it has played in scanning innovation over the decades by launching a microsite to acknowledge the growth and success of barcode scanning in retail.
“Forty years ago, I could have never imagined the impact that a barcode would have on consumers and businesses all over the world,” said Sprague Ackley, Technologist, Honeywell Scanning and Mobility. He further added: “From providing a speedier check out at the grocery store to scanning at a hospital bedside, to enabling goods to be tracked throughout their lifetime or simply using my phone to board an airplane, I continue to be amazed at the power of the barcode technology.”
Honeywell Scanning & Mobility offers retail-ready and ruggedized scanners in the supply chain space to capture, process and analyse data on barcodes around the globe.
