Imagine a solution where a decimal number can be printed on a 2x2 mm space in the form of tiny dots and also imagine a device that can read those dots and can generate that number. This is the patented solution VMCL is working on and the name of this patented solution is “GRID ONPUT Dot Pattern Technology”.

In recent year, providing information based on a two-dimensional barcode captured with a cellular phone camera is becoming popular. On the other hand , scanning the micro- barcode printed on an article with the barcode reader connected via USB port or PS2 to a PC and ordering that article online is fast approaching to break-down point as a business. However, since both two- dimensional barcode and micro- barcode occupies space on the printable area, the number of such codes on a single printable area is limited and they negatively affect the design of the printing material. Besides, the two- dimensional barcode and micro- barcode readers are not touch-type, rather it requires the image captured with good precision, making them difficult to use by an old person or a child. Furthermore, both of these codes have security problems because of their visibility. This is how the new technology “GRID ONPUT Dot Pattern Technology” comes to address above problems.

Dot Pattern Technology consists two main parts, one part is Dot Pattern, which prints a decimal number in the form of tiny dots and another part is proprietary eScanner Device that can read the image of Dot Pattern from the printed materials.
