Location: Holiday Inn Eindhoven


Retail history was made in 1974 when the first linear barcode was scanned to make it easier for supermarkets to look up prices at the point of sale (POS). It became the general trade standard, with global specifications managed by the international organization GS1.

Why switch to 2D code?
The current linear code no longer meets the demand for data on a product, which can be used to improve operational processes such as internal inventory management or operational supply chain management. By including dynamic data in a 2D code, such as information about batches, product shelf life dates, and unique product identification numbers, far-reaching opportunities arise and the physical and online worlds can be seamlessly connected.

For more information check out the presentation given during the webinar with GS1 on the transition from the EAN barcode to a 2D barcode.

Opportunities
We are organizing a unique workshop to explore how the QR Code can be utilized. This is an interactive session to gather ideas and further develop them together with researchers and academics. A selection of the best ideas will be outlined directly during the workshop. Some ideas that can be explored include:
– Development of new business models
– Use of advanced data mining techniques
– New Planning and Forecasting models
– Better demand forecasting and progressive insight into the chain
– More efficient stock management
– Traceability
– Link with ESG goals
No doubt the output of the Hackathon will yield more interesting applications.

Together with TKI Dinalog and GS1, we will host this QR HACKATHON: 2Discover Barcode opportunities in the Supply Chain.
