AsCode from AsReader, a new two-dimensional code demonstrated for the first time outside of Japan, makes it possible to manage a variety of information on a smartphone, which was previously difficult with barcodes. Simply put, AsCode is a new variation of the barcode, similar to a QR code.
The AsCode user can do inventory, check selling prices, and inspect goods just by holding their smartphone while moving by the items they’re scanning, and it does so quicker than the codes in use now. Employees can scan shelves as they walk through the store, inventorying as they go and immediately be alerted if something is expired or in the wrong section. When used in the retail environment, AsCode improves data accuracy and realizes information visualization and real-time utilization. Beyond retail, this new code for scanning will be used in distribution, logistics tracking, and events.
Here's what sets AsCode apart from the rest:

Here's what sets AsCode apart from the rest:
- AsCode can be read faster and read text from farther away because the AsCode dots are bigger than QR Codes.
- AsCode charges "per device" not "per app," unlike competitors
