Join us at TSC Academy near Chicago for two immersive days of learning, networking, and hands-on experience with the latest in Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies.<\/p>\n

Day 1 (AIDC 101)<\/strong> builds your foundation in barcodes, RFID, NFC, and industry standards\u2014perfect for those new to AIDC or looking to refresh their skills.
Day 2 (AIDC 102)<\/strong> takes you deeper, exploring advanced applications, integration strategies, and emerging innovations to solve real-world business challenges.
Across both days, you\u2019ll gain practical skills, connect with industry experts, and leave with actionable insights you can implement immediately.<\/p>\n
