| | Posted: | | | | where we will be if on a good (or bad) day in future, distributors decide to no longer use barcodes but RFID chips. Are we all going to look for RFID readers instead of Cue-cats, or typing it all in manually.
I know, this is somethig that is still in the future, but still, I'm wondering about it. | | | | Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer. |

| | Posted: | | | | typing in will be impossible (< Weblink) or you have to buy a RFID chip reader, so buy one connected to your computer | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | There is no reason for RFID chips to be used on DVDs. For practical purposes RFID would be used for wharehouse management and tracking product from shipper to retailer. This is mainly used for consumables, i.e., fresh produce and packaged salads for quality recall purposes. What will most likely will be used on DVD/CDs are the new High-Capacity Color Barcodes such as these:  | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

Datamatrix (Semacode) exists, works witch just one color and to top it off: has a higher capacity! So "High-Capacity Color Barcode" my fanny! HCCB hold 3500characters per square inch, which are a meager 6 characters per mm², where Datamatrix holds 16-25 characters per mm² cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

cya, Mithi Right. The Datamatrix codes, while they do currently exist, are tied up in Patent disputes. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

What will most likely will be used on DVD/CDs are the new High-Capacity Color Barcodes ... I'm not sure I would agree that there's no practical use for RFID chips for DVDs. It's a whole lot easier and quicker to read an RFID chip than it is to scan a barcode -- and can be done at a distance. Someone with a RFID scanner could scan a whole case of DVDs without examining them individually. I think that except for startup costs, the RFID tag is a lot more efficient a means of inventory control than the bar code. And from what I've read, they won't be limited to consumables as you mention. (BTW, I believe DVDs would be considered consumables in some places.) | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges.
