RSS Background Information
|
|
RSS was developed by the Uniform
Code Council, Inc. to answer business needs of its 200,000 member
companies in North America. The purpose of the code is to increase
the amount of information that can be put into a bar code while
decreasing the overall area of the code. The code will allow businesses
to improve the stream of information and to match that information
to the actual flow of product.
|
This type of code is particularly useful for applications where space
limitations are a concern. Industries such as pharmaceutical, healthcare,
logistics and transportation, and supermarkets have recently begun utilizing
this new symbology. RSS allows businesses to go beyond the typical manufacturer
and product identification information embedded in a bar code. The healthcare
industry views this symbology as a potential way to significantly reduce
medication errors. The RSS technology also improves the labeling and tracking
of food items. It gives supermarkets the opportunity to improve their
labeling and tracking of meat and produce items. The code can be encoded
to include manufacturers name, item identification number, weight, extended
price, and the ability to place best if used by dates on items. Consumers
also benefit by added consumer safety. If a bad batch of produce is placed
on the shelves, a supermarket will have the ability to track down the
produce immediately and remove it from the shelves.
Tradeshows:
TALtech will be demonstrating this new RSS-14 software at Frontline
