Barcode KIT Concepts: Symbologies Barcode is a machine-readable representation of information. This representation is a symbology; when is scanned the symbology enabled the information to be read accurately Barcode Types SymbologiesDescription 1D (linear) Code 39 Can encode both numeric and alpha data Code 128 For a wider selection of characters arose than Code 39 2DData Matrix A Data Matrix Code is a two-dimensional (2D) code that consists of black and white modules. Capacity to recover 20-30% of data Though usually for small size items For asset tracking, identification and data-driven applications, traditional Data Matrix Codes are generally the best choice. Data Matrix Code can store large amounts of data for encoding, making them appropriate for a wide variety of applications. QR A QR Code is another type of 2D code that consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. Capacity to recover 20-30% of data Can encode long numeric data, alpha data and raw data like photos (binary). QR Codes can be useful when software programs are not available through a scanner, but can be reached through a website. By scanning the QR code, the data is then transferred to the site where it is entered.

Barcode KIT Concepts: Symbologies Barcode 2D QR and their 6 parts QR and DataMatrix both of them use the Reed Solomon system to recover damaged part of the code data. 20% to recover in the case of DataMatrix. 1. Quiet zone: An empty white border that makes it possible to isolate the code from among other printed information (for example, on a dirty envelope, among the black and white print of a newspaper, or on smudged product packaging). 2. Finder patterns: Large black and white squares in three of the corners make it easy to confirm that this is a QR code (and not, say, an Aztec code). Since there are only three of them, it's immediately obvious which way up the code is and which angle it's pointing at (unless the code is partly obscured or damaged in some way). 3. Alignment pattern: This ensures the code can be deciphered even if it's distorted (viewed at an angle, printed on a curved surface (vessels, cryotube, ependorf), and so on).

Barcode KIT Concepts: Symbologies Barcode 2D QR and their 6 parts 4. Timing pattern: This runs horizontally and vertically between the three finder patterns and consists of alternate black and white squares. The timing pattern makes it easy to identify the individual data cells within a QR code and is especially useful when the code is damaged or distorted. 5. Version information: There are various different versions of the QR code standard; the version information (positioned near two of the finder patterns) simply identifies which one is being used in a particular code. 6. Data cells: Each individual black or white square that's not part of one of the standard features (the timing, alignment, and other patterns) contains some of the actual data in the code.

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Dot matrix Laser Thermal transfer or Direct Thermal

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Dot Matrix This technology is one of the oldest techniques used for on-site label printing Advantages Dot matrix printers are readily accessible and inexpensive to purchase. They can print on virtually any type of form, check or document and can print on wide-web, multi-part (carbon) forms. Dot matrix printers use multi-pass ribbons, which can result in reduced overall cost for ribbons and label material. Limitations Dot matrix printers print low- to medium-density bar codes that may not meet certain end-user guidelines. The dot size on the matrix printer limits the narrow element size and density of the bar code. The following example compares sufficient dot overlap vs. unacceptable dot overlap on a dot matrix printer used to print bar codes. Continuous ribbon re-use on dot matrix printers requires close monitoring of ribbon condition to ensure adequate bar code contrast. Ribbon ink that has become exhausted can also produce an image that is inadequate for scanning, resulting in a low read rate and high error rate. Ink saturation can result in paper “bleed” which can cause image distortion. A dot matrix-printed label is limited in durability. Dot matrix printers typically cannot produce chemical- or water-resistant labels. Printing of single labels results in significant waste. The design of the dot matrix printer’s print carriage, sitting far below the media, also does not allow one to maximize the label space. Dot matrix printing offers no graphics printing capability. Bar code print speed is greatly reduced when best ink coverage for optimal print quality is specified.

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Laser Advantages Laser printers are good at producing plain-paper documents that require bar codes. They can print high-quality text and graphics on paper documents and can double as a document printer when not being used to print bar codes. Bar code density and resolution are also quite high on laser printers, resulting in a scannable code at virtually any wavelength using an infrared scanner. Limitations Laser printers are not well suited for industrial or individual-product labeling applications. They can be wasteful. Laser printer label adhesives must be carefully selected to ensure stability under the heat and pressure of the fuser. A laser-printed paper label has limited durability. With laser printers, toner, drum and supply costs can increase high when printing bar codes instead of typical text.

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Direct Thermal Thermal printing is classified as either direct thermal or thermal transfer Direct thermal printing is an old technology, originally designed for copiers and fax machines, that utilizes chemically coated paper Advantages: Direct thermal printing produces sharp print quality with good scannability. Direct thermal is ideal for applications requiring only a short shelf life—meaning the label image does not need to last very long. Shipping labels and receipts are ideal applications, for instance. Direct thermal printers are simple to operate compared to most other print technologies, with no ink, toner or ribbon to monitor or replenish. With no supplies to replace other than the material to be printed, long-term maintenance costs remain low. Direct thermal printers, like thermal transfer, are typically built more durably than dot matrix or laser printers, allowing reliable operation in genebanks. Shorter label image life limits their applications compared to thermal transfer printers. Label

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Direct Thermal Label Limitations: Direct thermal printing is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions such as heat and light (fluorescent and/or direct sunlight) Direct thermal paper remains chemically active after printing. Because of this, thermal labels, tags or ticket stock are often top-coated to resist UV light exposure, chemicals and abrasion.

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Thermal Transfer Ribbon Label

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Thermal Transfer The thermal printhead transfers the ink onto the label surface, where it cools and anchors to the media surface. The polyester ribbon is then peeled away, leaving behind a stable, passive image. Advantages: Thermal transfer delivers high definition text, graphic, and bar code print quality for maximum readability and scannability. Thermal transfer printing produces longlife image stability. Long-term maintenance costs are low compared to dot matrix and laser printing. Thermal transfer technology can print on a nearly unlimited variety of media stock layouts Thermal transfer printers are typically built more durably than dot matrix or laser printers, allowing reliable operation in industrial and genebanks. Ribbon Label

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Thermal Transfer Ribbon Label Limitations: Since thermal transfer printers require ribbon, supply costs are higher than direct thermal. Thermal transfer printheads last longer than direct thermal. Single-pass thermal transfer ribbon can be wasteful if little is printed on it. To obtain optimum print quality in thermal transfer printing, the ribbon and media substrate MUST be compatible. Otherwise, the heat from the printhead could melt the ribbon onto the label causing internal printer problems.

Barcode KIT Concepts: Print Technologies Considerations to Print Quality in Thermal Printers The printer is set at the incorrect print speed You are using an incorrect combination of labels and ribbon for you application The printer is set an incorrect darkness level The print head is dirty Incorrect or uneven print head pressure Print using resolution of 300DPI Print using thermal methods and not print an image

Barcode KIT Concepts: Scanning Technologies Scanning barcodes First generation: with scanner’s laser (linear light) Second generation: with 2D Imaging (squared light) Take a photo and process with the imager engine Read faster than linear scanner Read in different positions Can read damaged barcodes

A hand-held barcode reader includes a laser scanning module and a two dimensional image sensor and processing for reading a barcode. The laser scanner assists the 2D image processing by providing information on location, type, range, reflectivity, and presence of bar code for 2D reading. Additionally, the 2D imaging reading operation is improved by using the laser scan as a spotter beam for aiming. Barcode KIT Concepts: Scanning Technologies

Barcode KIT Key Benefits on Genebanks 1.Accuracy Bar coding increases accuracy by reducing the likelihood of human errors from mislabeled (write on labels) or misread germplasm. Good print quality is important to ensure that the scanner can accurately read the bar code, thermal printing is needed 2.Improved Productivity (electonique track) Automation of daily procedures increases efficiency and allows personnel to be employed in other activities. Bar coding also can improve genebank quality by improving the monitoring and tracking of conservation, characterization and distribution processes

Barcode KIT Key Benefits on Genebanks 3.Timely Feedback Data is captured in real-time when evaluating the conservation, distribution and pathogen elimination process, enabling decisions to be made from current information by curators and managers 4.Uniform Data Collection Standardized bar code symbologies and compliance labeling ensure that bar code information is captured and relayed in a fashion that is universally understood and accepted, for example when germplasm is moved between laboratories, in addition GS1 standards help in this issue when germplasm goes outside of genebank (for international distributions and Svalbard) 5.Ease of Use With the proper hardware and software (barcode KIT) in place, the automation provided by a bar code system greatly simplifies information collection, processing and tracking

-Inventory in real time -Tracking material movement in real time – electronic track -It is clear that RFID will be the technology most often used to link "things"—tools, jigs, containers, subassemblies, finished products and so forth— to corporate networks so they can be tracked and managed -The real value would be created by connecting items to the corporate networks: Intranet of things -Work in parallel with 1D and 2D barcodes -Can not work with envelope folks -Systematically plan a pilot for future potential implementation RFID KIT: Benefits, Disadvantages & Recommendations
