★1.Advantages and disadvantages of QR code
The world has seen the Sino-Japanese Industrial Revolution since the ’60s. Lots of factories were being built, lots of digital products were being made there. Collecting, storing and coordinating so many product data was a daunting task. Then this information was input manually. As a result, a lot of time was being spent separately. By then, barcodes had been invented in the United States. It was possible to collect information by scanning the barcode. However, it was possible to save only 20 characters. It was very small in terms of the amount of data. The QR code is newly created with the idea of barcode. In 1994, Japanese engineer Masahiro Hara invented a scalable QR code filled with black and white pixels in a 4-cornered box. As a result, it is possible to store 10 times faster and more information than the previous barcodes.
★2.What is a QR code?
The full form of QR Code is Quick Response Code. This product is called packaging because data can be collected (data encoded) quickly through QR code. This code is a square box filled with some black and white pixels, which can store about 7,000 characters or numbers. All information can be found by spanning the code. QR codes are used to store different types of information.
