Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC)

Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) refers to technologies that automatically identify and collect data about objects, people, or locations without needing manual input. Common examples include barcodes, QR codes, RFID tags, and biometric systems like fingerprints. These technologies streamline processes in various industries by quickly capturing and processing information, improving accuracy and efficiency. For instance, a retail store can scan items at checkout, reducing wait times and ensuring inventory accuracy. AIDC plays a vital role in logistics, healthcare, and many other fields, enabling faster decision-making and better data management.
