AIM\u2019s industry groups have always been at the forefront of creating, learning, and sharing knowledge to advance automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies. These collaborative efforts result in standards development, technical reports, educational materials, advocacy, and insights into the latest industry trends. Many AIM-published symbologies and standards have been adopted internationally through the ISO standardization process. In 2024, AIM\u2019s industry groups reached several significant milestones that underscore their commitment to innovation and excellence.<\/p>\n
Technical Symbology Committee (TSC)<\/strong><\/p>\n Led by Steve Keddie of GS1 Global, the TSC continues to help get symbologies to market worldwide. This year, the group prepared the Ultracode International Symbology Standard for submission to ISO. This innovative symbology, which features a color multi-row, variable-size 2D matrix design, ensures compatibility with standard sRGB-compliant scanners and devices. Additionally, the committee published an awareness piece on QR Code phishing risks<\/a>, providing actionable safety practices to prevent users from falling victim to malicious schemes that compromise sensitive information.<\/p>\n RFID Experts Group (REG)<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the guidance of Jerry Peyton of VISTA IT Systems, the REG made significant strides in advancing RFID technology. The group released the “Understanding Sensors for the Supply Chain<\/a>” whitepaper, which highlights the pivotal role environmental sensors play in ensuring efficiency, compliance, and traceability across diverse industries. They also submitted comments to the FCC on the potential relocation of the Lower 900 MHz Band, addressing the critical implications of proposed frequency band changes and emphasizing the value of current use cases. Another landmark achievement was the launch of RFID.org<\/a>, a comprehensive online resource designed to educate and support RFID implementers, users, and stakeholders.<\/p>\n Visibility Technologies Industry Group (VTIG)<\/strong><\/p>\n Led by Kim MacDonald of REATH, the VTIG focused on enhancing product lifecycle visibility and interoperability. In 2024, the group published the whitepaper “How AI, IoT, Robotics, and AIDC Technologies Are Coming Together in Industrial Environments<\/a>,” showcasing how AIDC\u2019s foundational role in data capture is now augmented by IoT, AI, and robotics to enable advanced decision-making and traceability. They also addressed environmental sustainability challenges by releasing guidance on RFID tag recycling and disposal<\/a>. Furthermore, the VTIG submitted comments to the FCC on IoT cybersecurity labeling, advocating for the use of established standards and QR Codes to deliver user-friendly, accessible information.<\/p>\n Join Us in Shaping the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n These accomplishments exemplify the transformative power of collaboration within AIM\u2019s industry groups.\u00a0 While these are the items finished in 2024, there are several that will be completed in the first quarter of 2025 that members can take a part in helping finish.\u00a0 On top of that, many new projects will begin, so if you want to be part of this dynamic community and help shape the future of AIDC technologies, contact Michael Allen<\/a>, AIM\u2019s Business Development Director, to learn how you can get involved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AIM\u2019s industry groups have always been at the forefront of creating, learning, and sharing knowledge to advance automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies.
