AIM Ultracode advances color barcoding using phone app

AIM, the international industry association for automatic identification and mobility, has released the Ultracode international standard, establishing a significant enhancement in barcode technology.
Ultracode is the first 2D, error-correcting color barcode which can either be displayed on smartphones or printed by using a digital color camera or smartphone app. Using Ultracode, standard color technology can create an image that encodes the same data in less than half the area of a QR Code, minimizing display space required. The standard brings benefits for, for example, packagers of consumer goods looking for more attractive barcodes (News Release AIM, 13 July 2016).
