Product barcodes, as unique identifiers of goods, play an important role in promoting commodity trading, logistics management and sales settlement. Shaanxi Province, as a large western energy province and agricultural province, has an unbalanced development in the application of bar code and printing quality. Understanding the status of bar code quality in Shaanxi Province is conducive to strengthening bar code quality management.
As a most widely used item coding and automatic identification technology, commodity barcodes have been inseparable from our lives. Statistics show that the number of bar code scans globally exceeds 6 billion times per day, and commodity bar codes can save 17 billion U.S. dollars per year for the global FMCG industry. Since China joined the International Association of Article Numbering in 1991, the number of manufacturing companies that use bar codes has grown rapidly. By now, it has reached 180,000 companies, second only to the United States and becoming the world’s second largest member country. As the “ID card” for circulation of commodities, commodity barcodes have been widely used in more than 30 million kinds of commodities, more than 1 million commercial supermarkets, and over 95% of fast-moving consumer goods, and have the “Made in China” product code barcode “ID card”. Has been in every corner of the world.
Status Quo of Quality Barcode Printed Products in Shaanxi Province
After more than 20 years of development, Shaanxi Province (except Xi'an City) (hereinafter referred to as Shaanxi Province) has used nearly 1900 manufacturing companies to use bar codes. Most of them are manufacturing industries, including agricultural and non-staple food processing industries. The number of food manufacturing and beverage manufacturing accounts for the top three, exceeding 85% of the number of system members.
The agricultural and sideline products processing enterprises account for a large proportion of the total number of members of the bar code system in Shaanxi Province, followed by the food manufacturing industry. This feature indicates on the other hand that many enterprises in Shaanxi Province that use bar codes are in the initial processing stage. Single, low value-added, small-scale enterprises, a very small number of high-level manufacturing companies.
GB12904-2008 "Product Bar Code Retailing Commodity Coding and Bar Code Representation" as a national standard for "some clauses mandatory" provides the rules and conditions (all mandatory clauses) for judging the eligibility of retail product barcodes. The regular inspection and inspection results of the Barcode Quality Supervision and Inspection Station of Shaanxi Province from 2012 to 2013 are used to count and analyze the implementation of the bar code GB12904-2008.
From the comparison of data, we can see that, except for a small number of companies in Tongchuan and other places, the sample inspection status in other regions is basically the same as the quality of the bar codes of local manufacturers. Guanzhong region, especially Xi’an, Baoji, and other places have a large number of companies, and bar code technology is applied. The earlier time, the overall quality is better. In southern Shaanxi, the company is small in size, small in number, and relatively poor in overall quality.
Failure Reason Analysis and Control Measures
In bar code technology, dark character (low reflectivity) and light color (high reflectivity) are used to encode bar code characters in two different graphic units with different light reflectivity; when reading, the reflected light received by the scanner is converted into Reflectivity) to determine whether dark cells (bars) or light cells (blank) are scanned. Therefore, the reflectance parameter is an important quality parameter of the bar code, reflecting whether the reader can effectively identify the bars and empty cells of the bar code symbol.
In addition, due to lack of staff management and business knowledge training, some manufacturers also lacked the basic knowledge of barcodes, randomly scaled bar code symbols, and did not pay attention to the blank area width size of bar code symbols, which caused the barcode symbols to be inaccessible by inspection equipment.
Judging from the situation reflected by the market survey in Shaanxi Province, with the popularity of bar code knowledge and the improvement of the performance of printing equipment, the passing rate of bar code quality has reached 81% or more, but commodity barcodes in distant suburban counties and small supermarkets still exist. The quality problem is relatively serious. This also reflects the need to improve the bar code quality of regional and low-end products.
The implementation of inspections and market surveys in the past two years shows that many manufacturers do not attach importance to the quality control of commodity bar codes. Today, informatization, this will seriously affect the product image and overall competitiveness of Shaanxi enterprises, and hinder the circulation of Shaanxi Province. The level of informatization has increased.
Overall, the overall quality level of commodity barcodes in Shaanxi Province is close to the national average, but there is still a certain gap with the developed eastern regions. There are thousands of retail supermarkets in Shaanxi Province. The product categories of Shaanxi's manufacturing enterprises account for only a small portion and are basically concentrated in specialties, seasonings and other categories. This reflects that the level of enterprise information management in Shaanxi Province is still low. Can not make good use of automatic identification technology to improve the competitiveness of their products.
