One-dimensional barcode and two-dimensional barcode, their respective characteristics and differences are as follows:
One-dimensional barcode features:
1, information capacity: one-dimensional barcode can contain a large amount of information, such as the product identification, date of production, serial number.
2, high reliability: one-dimensional bar code has a high degree of reliability, can effectively avoid human error.
3, low cost: 1D barcode production costs are relatively low, can be used in a variety of different types and sizes of equipment.
4, fast reading speed: 1D barcode reading speed is very fast, can quickly identify and track items.
Two-dimensional bar code features:
1, information capacity is greater: two-dimensional bar code can contain more information, but also can contain images and sound and other multimedia information.
2, higher security: 2D barcode has higher security, which can effectively prevent counterfeiting and copying.
3, more extensive reading equipment: 2D barcode requires the use of specialized reading equipment, but the price of these devices is gradually reduced, making the application of 2D barcode more and more widely.
4, better visibility: 2D barcodes have better visibility and can be easily viewed and tracked information about the items.
Difference between 1D barcode and 2D barcode:
1, Dimension: 1D barcode is only encoded on one line, while 2D barcode is encoded on two perpendicular lines.
2. Information capacity: 2D barcode can store more information because it has two dimensions. The information capacity of one-dimensional barcode is relatively small.
3, reading mode: 2D barcode can be read from one direction by scanning equipment, also can be read from multiple directions, which improves the flexibility of reading. One-dimensional bar code can only be read from a single direction.
4, error correction: two-dimensional bar code has a strong error correction function, can be repaired to a certain extent damaged bar code image. The error correction ability of 1D barcode is weak.
Applications of 1D barcode and 2D barcode:
One-dimensional barcode applications:
1. Retail: 1D barcode is widely used in retail industry, such as supermarkets, shopping malls and so on. They can scan the 1D barcode to quickly identify the product information, price, inventory and so on.
2, logistics: 1D barcode is also widely used in the logistics industry, for example, courier companies can scan the 1D barcode to track the location and status of packages.
3, manufacturing: in the manufacturing industry, 1D barcode can be used to track the production process, product batch, quality inspection and other information.
4, health care: in the health care field, 1D bar code can be used to identify drugs, medical equipment, patient information, etc..
Two-dimensional barcode applications:
1, mobile payment: two-dimensional barcode is widely used in the field of mobile payment, such as Alipay and WeChat payment. By scanning the 2D barcode, fast and convenient payment can be realized.
2, identification: 2D barcode can be used for identification, such as e-ID card, e-passport and so on.
3, file transfer: 2D barcode can be used for file transfer, such as pictures, videos, documents and so on.
4, asset management: in the field of asset management, 2D barcode can be used to identify the asset location, status and other information.
