•Automatic Data Collection and Traceability Issues:

For traceability, customers need to record the product expiration and lot code

If the information is not available on the product label in bar code format, customers will have to continue recording them manually

•Competitors are adding bar codes to their labels

•Marketing has estimated that not having bar codes could reduce “the” product sales by 50%

•In addition, “X”- Medic is introducing a new product device that can read bar codes
