Richard Herbert from Tawa Probus Club

The next Tawa Probus meeting will be held on Monday, 15th July, commencing 9.30am, at the Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, Tawa.

At this meeting Dr Peter Stephens is going to speak to us about the Bar Code system and its evolution.

The Bar Code system we now have on every product we buy commenced in 1970 when a standardised product code was defined. Bar code scanners and systems started to be deployed in the mid 1970s. This system has revolutionised the product supply chain management world wide.

Dr Peter Stevens has been Chief Executive of GS1 New Zealand since January 2004. GS1 is involved in the supply chain management solutions business and assigns international codes to new products. Today we now also have a similar technology Q-codes. What is the future for the Bar Code?
