QR CODE
QR Code, or QR code, is an example of a two-dimensional code encoded in a square. It features position markers in the form of concentric squares at three corners, and a smaller square marker at the fourth corner, with segments formed alternately by dots and spaces along the connections between these boundary squares. In the smaller version, micro QR, some of these elements are absent. QR Code is particularly advantageous for encoding Japanese (and generally some Asian) character sets, which is why it is popular in these countries. It has an advanced error correction mechanism capable of recovering 7 to 30% of data. Currently, the use of QR codes in marketing is very popular. An advertisement in print, a flyer, or outdoor media can be supplemented with a QR code, which, when scanned by a mobile phone, allows the user to access more information about the advertised offer.
DATAMATRIX
Another two-dimensional barcode that can encode the entire ASCII character table is the Data Matrix. It is square, with sizes ranging from 8 × 8 to 144 × 144 dots. For larger input data, it is divided into smaller sections, each containing a so-called “quiet zone” (a left and bottom black border) that carries no information. Data Matrix includes error correction algorithms (Reed-Solomon code). It is mainly used in the automotive and electronics industries for marking individual components entering production. It is also frequently used for DPM (Direct Part Marking) on critical parts. Data Matrix was developed by RVSI / ACUITY SyMatrix (now part of Siemens) in October 2005.
