Key Trends in the Market

Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) refers to different technologies that are used to record information, without manual entry, from objects, individuals, images, or sounds. AIDC applications are available in various categories such as source identification and validation, tracking functionalities, and integration with other systems.

• The automatic Identification and data capture market growth  can be attributed to the rising integration of the Internet of things (IoT) in the AIDC. An increasing number of devices and sensors are now interconnected to provide real-time data that can be captured and processed using AIDC technologies. This integration enables businesses to make data-driven decisions, optimise operations, and enhance customer experiences.
• The proliferation of the e-commerce sector is another major factor enhancing the automatic identification and data capture market demand. Through the implementation of AIDC technologies, e-commerce business managers can easily carry out tasks such as the identification of items, data collection, and data entry into computer systems to enable efficient warehouse management.
• One of the major automatic identification and data capture market trends includes the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in AIDC solutions. The integration of these advanced technologies is likely to enhance the processing, storing, and managing of data. Moreover, the reduction of human interference is expected to improve the performance of AIDC in the coming years.
