Sager takes barcoding lead
Sager Electronics has adopted the Electronic Components Industry Association’s (ECIA) twodimensional (2D) bar coding guideline. 2D bar coding embeds a wealth of productrelated information within a square image and only requires one scan to retrieve the data as compared to the traditional 1D barcodes. Sager says that it is the first authorized distributor to fully transition to the 2D bar coding system on its outbound shipping labels.
Barney Martin, vice president of
industry practices for ECIA said, “We are pleased that Sager Electronics has embraced the ECIA’s newest specification, fully integrating the 2D bar coding system into its warehouse operations. Through early adoption by Sager and other ECIA members, we are confident the new specification will greatly benefit all participants in the supply chain – suppliers, manufacturer representatives, distributors and most importantly, customers.”
