INGENIEUR
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the comprehensive comparison between
the RFID and QR technologies, and their features
and capabilities, we need to consider several
issues before implementation in industrial projects.
Both technologies have their own advantages
and disadvantages. For example, QR codes are
easier and cheaper to use, and also do not need
specific requirements and installations. Therefore,
QR codes are preferable in small businesses;
and in the industries with lower priced products
or products with short expiry such as food. On
the other hand, RFID technology is more flexible,
has more memory capacity and fully automatic.
But being more costly, it is preferable in industries
with long production line and/or distribution chain;
or in the industries with valuable products.
