Franchise Events<\/a><\/strong>,Honeywell<\/strong> New Microsite Launched to Acknowledge Growth and Success of Barcode Scanning in Retail<\/a><\/strong> and Beyond<\/p>\n

Mumbai<\/a><\/strong>, India: Forty years ago today, a 10-pack of Wrigley\u2019s gum was scanned and purchased at a Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio, using what is now used 5 billion times every day: the Universal Product Code (UPC) barcode. In honor of this special occasion, Honeywell (NYSE: HON) is celebrating the anniversary and the role it has played in barcode and scanning innovation over the decades.<\/p>\n

From the invention of Code 39, the most widely used barcode, to the introduction of the Aztec 2D barcode that is used on airline and railway tickets, Honeywell has continued to collaborate with customers around the globe to deliver new scanning technologies<\/a><\/strong> that help transform fundamental business processes. Customers such as AstralPool, LoBue Citrus, Nature\u2019s Best and the San Jose Police Department are just a few examples of companies that have successfully leveraged the barcode and Honeywell scanning technology to gain competitive advantage and increase operational performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cForty years ago, I could have never imagined the impact that a barcode would have on consumers and businesses all over the world,\u201d said Sprague Ackley, technologist, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. \u201cFrom 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honeywell<\/strong> Scanning & Mobility is proud to contribute a broad portfolio of retail<\/a><\/strong>-ready and ruggedized scanners in the supply chain space to capture, process and analyze data on barcodes around the globe.<\/p>\n

For more than 40 years, the company has developed innovative solutions to meet the evolving demands of customers across industries, including retail<\/a><\/strong>, healthcare<\/a><\/strong>, field service and transportation & logistics. Honeywell\u2019s contributions to the AIDC industry, include, but are not limited to, the following innovations:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1971: First on-demand barcode printer<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1972: First contact-wand bar code reader patented<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1974: Invented code-39, still the most widely used barcode in the world<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1982: First handheld laser scanner with built-in decoder<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1995: First handheld 2D imager and introduced the Aztec code barcode<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1996: First omnidirectional handheld laser scanner<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2007: First near-field\/far-field imager<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2013: First wearable solution to integrate voice and hands-free scanning<\/p>\n

The barcode continues to play a critical role in improving efficiencies, increasing productivity and enhancing the overall customer experience across a variety of industries. For example, Honeywell\u2019s deployment at Copper Mountain Ski Resort in Summit County, Colo., is one example of how the barcode and scanning technology have helped businesses transform operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntermec by Honeywell\u2019s 2D scanning technology reads the barcodes on our ski rentals almost instantly \u2013 translating to faster service and shorter lines,\u201d said Todd Palmer, IT systems administrator at Copper Mountain. \u201cWe are able to get visitors on the ski lifts more quickly and our employees can spend more time with guests to ensure an optimal customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honeywell<\/strong> has launched a microsite to celebrate this milestone and showcase the various ways the company has played a role in the evolution of the barcode and scanning technology.
