Many more companies are coming up with unique ways of making use of barcode labels in this day and age which is great to see. A rather more unusual one reported recently is that of a company from Regina, Saskatchewan, a province of Canada.
They have been the first in this country to come up with a use for barcodes that involves linking gravestones with online memorial information to give relatives and friends of the deceased access to details.
With the system designed by Remco Memorials, all a person has to do is scan in the barcode with their smartphone and this will present them with a digital obituary. Information that couldn’t possibly be carved on a monument can now be accessed quite easily.
QR code technology, which is now widely used in the United States, is used to make this possible and the use of barcode labels in this way has really opened up a whole new world of ways for these barcodes to be put to good use.
The internet is a great place to use barcodes to their full potential. In this instance, these removable barcodes are printed onto durable vinyl stickers and firmly placed on grave markers.
