Q

What does AIDC stand for?

A

Automatic identification and Data Capture-technologies that provide direct entry of data into a computer or other microprocessor-controlled system without using a keyboard. Many require no human involvement

Q

All AIDC consist of three principal components which also comprise the sequential steps in AIDC

A
  1. Data Encoder-characters are translated into machine-readable code
  2. Machine reader or scanner-device that reads encoded data, and converts it usually into electric analog signal
  3. Data Decoder-component transforms electrical signal into digital data and back to alphanumeric charcyters

Q

2 parameters to measure AIDC errors

A
  1. First Read Rate FRR-probability of successfully reading data first time
  2. Substitution error rate-SER-frequency with which scanner incorrectly reads encoded char as some other char.

Q

2 bar code types

A
  1. Linear-linear sweep of scanner.2 forms are width and height modulated
  2. Two dimensional-encoded data must be read in both directions

Q

2 types of linear bar code tech

A
  1. Width modulated
  2. Height modulated-not used that much

Width modulated are like morse bar code

Q

The bar code standard adopted by car makers, DOD, and other manufacturing services

A

Code 39
also known as AIM USD-2
Why is it 39? It’s because there are 9 elements(bars and spaces) and 3 elements are wide

Q

2-d symbologies divide into two basic types

A
  1. Stacked bar codes-can hold greater data

2. Matrix symbologies

17
Q

Problems with stacked bar codes

A
  1. Keeping track of the different rows during scanning
  2. dealing with scanning swaths that cross between rows
  3. Detecting and correcting localized errors
18
Q

what does RFID stand for

A

Radio Frequency Identification technology

Its replacing bar codes

19
Q

How does RFID work

A

a tag or label of data is attached to item. There is an IC ship and a small antennae

Communication is done through a 2 way transponder

2 types-active and passive

20
Q

Principal applications of RFID

A
  1. inventory management
  2. supply chain management
  3. Tracking systems
  4. Warehouse control
  5. location ID
  6. WIP tracking
21
Q

Advantages of RFID

A
  1. ID does not depend on physical contact
  2. more data can be contained
  3. data can be altered for reuse of tag

disadvantages is that its more expensive

22
Q

what does OCR stand for

A

Optical character recognition-special designed alpha numeric that are machine readable by an optical reading device

23
Q

What are main applications of machine vision

A
  1. automated inspection tasks
  2. read 2-d matrix symbols
  3. used for stacked bar codes
24
Q

Why are magnetic strips not widely used

A
  1. needs near-contact scanning
  2. lower scanning rates
  3. Higher error rates
25
Q

Relative advantages of bar codes over RFID

A

1.Low cost

26
Q

advantages of RFID over barcode

A
  1. Reusable
  2. Read-Write
  3. More durable
  4. More data contained
  5. ID does not depend on physical contact
