It's National Barcode Day!

Back on June 26, 1974, the first UPC (on a pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum) was scanned at a grocery store in Troy, OH. This was a momentous achievement for the grocery industry who had been begging for help.

Now, we know this barcode scan literally changed the world—and for us, was the start of our AIDC industry that has transformed the supply chains of every industry and continues to do so today.

Think about how often a barcode gets used in your everyday life—grocery store check-outs, deliveries, flights, etc. It’s truly the most amazing, and yet still inconspicuous, innovation!

Warehouse technology is moving fast. AI, automation, RFID, and real-time data are changing what teams can track, improve, and respond to.

But keeping up does not have to mean overhauling your entire operation. Sometimes the best place to start is with the parts of the warehouse that are already slowing your team down:

• Inventory counts taking too long
• Receiving and shipping relying on too many manual steps
• Products moving without enough real-time visibility

Better scans, better labels, smarter RFID tracking, and more useful data can all help your team move faster with fewer mistakes.
