Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | July 31, 2019 | AIM, the trusted worldwide industry association for the automatic identification industry, providing unbiased information, educational resources and standards for nearly half a century, has announced the ratification and release of the revised International Symbology Specification – DotCode. DotCode, introduced in 2009, is a unique, variable size, variable shape, matrix (2-D) symbology specifically designed for high-speed marking applications where alignment or connection of individual dots is problematic. Because DotCode decoding does not rely on finding continuous lines, DotCode offers a practical method to provide unique item identification at full production line speeds. The revised (version 4.0) DotCode specification defines expanded symbology-specific print quality assessment (verification) parameters based on a more granular (1/10 of a point) scale. Most importantly, the new specification defines a revised encoding algorithm to prevent rare but significantly flawed dot patterns that could have been produced under the original DotCode encoder. George Wright, IV, a member of AIM’s Technical Symbology Committee and lead for the project, shared this comment on the relevance of the release, “This fundamental enhancement to DotCode defines a significant encoding improvement based on extensive new testing of the original encoder algorithm and real-world experience in printing and reading DotCode in anti-counterfeit and traceability implementations in the European tobacco industry over the past several years.” A podcast interview with Mr. Wright on DotCode is available here. The revised DotCode specification (Rev. 4.0) and associated encoding and mask scoring source code files are available for purchase from the AIM Store & Knowledge Resource Center.

Danzz Consulting’s Dan Kimball and CISC Semiconductor’s Debangana Mukherjee Tapped for Leadership Roles
PITTSBURGH, PA – February 13, 2019—AIM North America (NA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dan Kimball as the new Chair of the Board and Debangana (“Debs”) Mukherjee as Vice Chair. Board members unanimously welcomed these appointments, which were made at the recommendation of a special Nominations Committee. Mr. Kimball and Ms. Mukherjee will work to fulfill AIM NA’s mission of raising awareness and adoption of automatic identification technologies. Mr. Kimball succeeds Don Ertel, VP Systems & Technology Solutions, CDO Technologies, as Chair of the AIM NA Board of Directors. Mr. Ertel has served as the AIM NA Chair since 2014 and remains on the AIM NA Board of Directors. “We are extremely grateful to Don for his dedication to AIM North America in his tenure as chair of the board,” says Mary Lou Bosco, COO, AIM NA. “We look forward to Dan Kimball stepping into the chairmanship and expanding his leadership role within AIM North America. Dan’s experience across many aspects of AIM North America make him a strong fit to assume this important role. Debs Mukherjee has been an integral part of our strategic planning team and having her step into the role as vice chair gives us a strong, clear succession plan for the board we are excited about.” Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | January 17, 2019 |AIM, the trusted worldwide industry association for the automatic identification industry, providing unbiased information, educational resources and standards for nearly half a century, has announced the release of a new sensor technical specification that will provide a universal method to interpret temperature threshold sensors used to enhance supply chain management and logistics in most industrial sectors.
The technical specification, Application Identifier (8009) with Sensor Descriptor Attribute 01 (Sensor AI (8009) 01), is the result of an exclusive collaboration between GS1 and AIM, launched in October 2017, to partner GS1's Application Identifier data encodation rules with sensor technical specifications developed by AIM. This allows reading and interpretation of the sensor and barcode using a single scan. "The desire was to develop a way to interpret sensors," said Ray Delnicki, Global Standards Director for GS1 US. "The first application is temperature threshold sensors, applied to vaccine vials dispensed in remote geographies, using a smart device scanning both the barcode and sensor on the label." AIM Member Mohannad Abdo, PhD, Senior Manager of Technology Innovations at Temptime Corporation, further shared the significance of the specification, "With the release of Sensor AI (8009) 01, the AIM-GS1 partnership has introduced a way in which digital business transactions, typically executed using barcodes or RFID (radio frequency Identification) will be able to easily capture, format and utilize dynamic data to enable greater integration between applications for AIDC (automatic identification and data capture) and the supply chain. Sensor AI (8009) 01 provides the cornerstone for optically readable sensors of any kind." An optically readable sensor indicator adds another dimension to an existing barcode format. With Sensor AI (8009) 01, the value of both barcode and RFID tags is significantly enhanced by incorporating dynamic (rather than static) environmental monitoring. It will also enable new applications for AIDC and support use in both Blockchain and Internet of Things programs. The release of Sensor AI (8009) 01 marks the first step in a process expected to yield additional specifications as the AIM-GS1 partnership continues work on detailed uses of this sensor technical specification.
