AIDC Across Industries

While it may sound complicated, AIDC technology is quite simple; it functions by encoding machine-readable information onto a physical object, like a barcode, label, or RFID tag. This data gets interpreted by devices like barcode scanners, RFID readers, or even cameras equipped with image recognition software. The big benefits of AIDC include the elimination of manual data entry, real-time shipment tracking, optimized inventory management, and enhanced supply chain visibility.
