QR Codes

LASER ENGRAVED QR CODES

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a 2D matrix barcode readable by dedicated QR scanners, and the market we address smartphones with appropriate barcode reader app..

The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, URL, or other data.

QR codes were developed in Japan by Denso for use in manufacturing in 1994.

The use of smartphones with bar code scanners has led to an explosion in the use of QR codes for a variety of applications, - ranging from the personal - (use as business card), through machine tagging through to use on grave memorials (links to personal website of the deceased). The use of QR codes with mobile phones has led to them also being referred to as 'mobile codes'.
