Historical Note "Kevin Berisso has over 15 years of experience in the AIDC industry, starting as a
project engineer at a custom warehouse management software company. He is currently
the director of the AIDC Lab at Ohio University, where he is involved in bar code
and RFID research as well as teaching both an AIDC class, a RFID class and computer
programming class. In addition to his educational duties, Dr. Berisso has developed
numerous software packages - both off the shelf solutions and customs applications.
He has also worked as a manufacturing engineer at Delphi Automotive, providing for
a well rounded understanding of both the business side AND the production side of
many applications. He is an active member of the AIM Global Technical Symbology Committee
(TSC), the AIM Internet of Things committee, participates in the GS1 BCID Technical
Group and received the 2012 Ted Williams Award from AIM Global which is "presented
annually to a professor or student in recognition of innovative and exceptional contributions
that can further the growth of the industry through their work as a teacher, researcher
and entrepreneur." (Source: Ohio University, Russ College of Engineering and Technology)

INVENTORY
"Designer QR Codes: Ensuring the 'Beep'" (White Paper). Spring 2013. 6 pages.
Abstract: QR Codes are experiencing a continuing increase in use. On everything from
pizzas to billboards, QR Codes can be found on all sorts of items and products. With
increased use, the concept of designer QR Codes – QR Codes that have been graphically
altered to make them more graphically appealing – has taken root. By using a percentage
of the built in error correction capability, graphic designers are able to alter the
structure of the QR Code while still allowing it to be scanned. The problem is that
not all designer QR Codes are created equal. Due to a lack of understanding of how
QR Codes actually work, designers are confronted with advice, often online, that implies
that anything from a slight color change up through the complete redesign of the QR
Code will work. This white paper has been developed to help address these very concerns.
It will not try to address the various implementation issues such as including a call
for action or the need for ensuring that any embedded URLs direct to mobile enabled
sites. Instead the focus is on what sort of design modifications can be made while
still ensuring the maximum number of people will be able to scan the symbol. The research,
conducted by Ohio University’s AIDC Lab which is a part of the Russ College of Engineering
and Technology, investigated the read rate (the percentage of people who were able
to scan a given code) of various types of designer QR Codes.
