AIM North America Celebrates Scanniversary

Today is a very special day to AIM North America and anyone involved in the automated data capture community. We created this special presentation to commemorate a pivotal moment in history—the 50th anniversary of the first barcode scan in Troy, Ohio USA. It was here, at just after 8am on June 26, 1974, that the first item marked with the Universal Product Code (UPC) was scanned at the checkout of Troy’s Marsh Supermarket; a pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum.

​Hear AIM NA Board members Jeanne Duckett, Avery Dennison and Sheila Gill, Honeywell along with Renee Perry, Culimer USA and Steven Keddie, GS1 GO share how these innovations enhance supply chain visibility, traceability, and regulatory compliance. Our experts examine the transformative potential of RFID technology and 2D barcodes and successful case studies that highlight the real-world impact of advanced barcode scanning solutions. Thank you to our sponsors: Avery Dennison, Honeywell, Culimer USA, and GS1 Global Office.
