The future of automatic identification technology: Why AIDC will change your lifestyle?
In today's era of rapid technological development, automatic identification technology (AIDC) is increasingly becoming an indispensable part of people's lives. AIDC encompasses a range of methods for automatically identifying objects, collecting data and entering it directly into computer systems without human intervention, from QR codes and barcodes to radio frequency identification (RFID) to biometrics such as iris and facial recognition systems), these technologies not only improve the efficiency of data collection, but also change our daily lives.
The purpose of AIDC is to obtain external data by analyzing images, sounds or videos.
According to this technology, the process of automatic identification can be roughly divided into three main components: data encoder, machine reader or scanner, and data decoder. Simply put, a data encoder converts characters into machine-readable codes, which are then read by a machine reader and converted into electrical signals, while a data decoder converts electrical signals into digital data.
AIDC application and technology
One of the most important applications of AIDC is collecting information from paper documents and storing it in a database. Currently, many companies use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract information from printed text, and for handwritten content, ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) technology can be used. At the same time, technologies such as OMR (multiple choice recognition) and BCR (barcode recognition) are also widely used to capture information in different scenarios. The use of these technologies makes it possible to extract information from structured, semi-structured and unstructured documents.
Each type of document has a different structure and appearance, which affects the ease of data capture.
With the growth of AIDC technology, the future supply chain will rely more on the concept of Internet objects, which is a vision of applying RFID on a global scale. This makes the efficiency and automation of supply chain management expected to become a reality, which can effectively reduce counterfeiting, theft and product waste and improve overall efficiency.
However, given the potential expansion of AIDC technology, many people have also expressed concerns about the application of this technology in daily life, especially in terms of personal privacy, consent and security. Therefore, while technological advancement brings convenience, we must also be cautious about its impact and protect the security of personal information.
Many experts point out that the development of AIDC is expected to improve industrial efficiency and quality of life, but in which aspect it will have the greatest impact on our lives is still worth pondering.
Global cooperation and future prospects
Since 1999, the global association Auto-ID Labs has been established, which includes 100 of the world's largest companies, including Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, etc. Through cooperation, these companies are committed to promoting the development of automatic identification technology and striving to achieve collaborative operation of technology, processes and organizations.
In future plans, Auto-ID Labs' research will focus on miniaturization technology and reducing the cost of each device, hoping to reach a standard of only $0.05 per device. At the same time, they are also exploring innovative applications, such as contactless payments, that will revolutionize the way we consume in our daily lives.
In the future, smart clothing and smart home devices will become a new trend, adding convenience to our lives.
Just like the establishment of AIDC 100, industry professionals are actively promoting people's understanding of the series of processes and technologies, which is not only beneficial to business operations, but also helps us establish a rational understanding and use of automatic identification technology.
In this era of rapid technological advancement, automatic identification technology is undoubtedly an innovative force that affects our lifestyle. As AIDC technology continues to develop and become more popular, what will life be like in the future?
