A 2‐D symbology application at ups

Abstract

Outlines the development of a 2‐D matrix symbology and reader, designed to cope with the demands of a large parcel delivery business. Describes how the information for each parcel is encoded in a two‐dimensional array of hexagons surrounding central recognition patterns and discusses the technical challenge of developing a high speed conveyor belt reader. Concludes that this type of system could play an important role in package delivery services in the future.
