In the logistics sector, many parcels fail to arrive at their destination, or arrive late, because their barcode has not been read. Similarly, we are often stuck at the supermarket checkout because a barcode is illegible. 

 

More generally, this fragility (damaged, hidden, torn barcodes) is a problem that impacts many activities.

 

There's an excellent technical alternative to the barcode, which also offers many additional functionalities: RFID.  But in most cases, this luxurious technology is too expensive and has too high an environmental impact to be a real solution to the need for a simple, reliable identifier with low environmental impact.

​

We have invented a new low-cost identification technology with low environmental impact:

The Radio Frequency Barcode, which combines the simplicity and low environmental impact of the bar code with the reliability of RFID.
