What is Colorbit?
Colorbit is the state of the art “recognition technology” developed by B-Core Inc. Because Colorbit has a shape free nature, various designs can be adopted. Colorbit can solve problems, or collect data when traditional barcodes, 2D barcode and RFID tags can not be used.
Superb features of Colorbit
・One shot reading for multiple codes
Multiple codes in an image can be read simultaneously. Conventional codes such as barcode and two-dimensional code are read individually, while a number of Colorbit can be recognized concurrently, even when there are more than 200 in the image. Because of this function the specific Colorbit can be searched for easily too.
・Design free and shape free
Colorbit can be any size and any shape, allowing for the possibility of great diversity in design. The use of Colorbit for name tags, visually appealing coupons and attractive packaging design are all now options for the graphic designer.
・Distorted, blurred, or faded images are readable
・Can by applied to the edge and narrow area
Eg. Colorbit can be applied on the spine of a slim book or file, on the edge of an envelope and on the edges of metal plates, glass and P.C.Boards.
・Expensive or special devices not required
Any camera can be used such as a web camera, digital camera, digital video camera, or machine vision camera (industrial camera) even Smart Phones and PDAs. Also, Colorbit can be printed with any off-the-shelf printers.
Benefit of Colorbit
Higher efficiency and increased productivity
checking documents → 20 times faster
medicine inventory control → 5 times
boxes inventory control → 10 times faster
Decreased cost
lower labor cost, less equipment, lower safety cost
Adding value through design
Exhibits
This time B-Core demonstrate the most advanced applications which utilize Colorbit various advantages.
1. Colorbit pallet control system
Packages on the pallet can be scanned easily with the smart phone or IP Camera system. It enables easy check of in-out packages. Not only the package in-out check, but Colorbit can work as fochecking inside goods by AR system of them.
2. Colorbit Rack System
When Colorbit is used for controlling the books, documents files and boxes, it greatly save the time for inventory check and detecting the specific ones among many. Smart phone does work as the reader. Multiple codes reading capability helps the reading work with high speed and high accurate data capture. Smart Phone communicates with the cloud server for saving the data and detecting the specific datum. If you are using the barcode system already, it can be used together with Colorbit.
Colorbit can work as AR marker even designed Colorbit. Now B-Core demonstrates the 3D AR. 3D figures show up on the Colorbit. The size of such figures can be large or small depend on the size of Colorbit. Multiple reading capability shows many figures coming up on the randomly set Colorbits.
