David Key of Irvine CA Reveals QR Codes: What isBehind All Those Dots?
David Key of Irvine Calfornia, has specialized in bar code technology since he graduated from college. Back then the
latest technology was bar code 39 which is still an industry standard in many applications. Key explains that the new bar
code today is QR Code which is an optical representation of data that can be read easily by the scanning device
instrumentation and mobile devices, which in turn gets translated by the special software. Prior to QR Code, bar codes
were available as specified parallel lines usually in black color, known vastly as one-dimensional or linear bar codes.
Though, in these days, bar coding devices are able to read all kinds of patterns including hexagon, square, dots and other
geometric patterns, known widely as two dimensional matrix codes. All such symbols are not bars, but still referred and
pertained as bar codes. The new applications for QR Codes are endless due to their wide variety of applications in today’s
mobile and Intenet markets. David Key, Vice President of Scanitek inc., specializes in QR Code applications in today’s
commercial and retail enviroments. The QR Code in the upper left can be scanned with any smart phone and it so
happens to take you to this article!

Everyday mobile devices can now scan QR Codes
Today QR coding is being employed and used in retail sectors, to automate their checkout procedure and point of sales
system in addition to consumer habits and service usage. Since then, bar code systems are vastly used all over the world in
several other industries and applications. Moreover, varied forms of bar codes as well as bar scanning devices are
available in the market nowadays at affordable prices. There are distinctive components including QR bar code readers
and optical scanners that read the codes scanned from an image integrating special software to interpret, which
is very similar to the software employed in Smart phone platforms. In addition, other bar code equipment constituents
includes screen displays, CPU’s (Central Processing Units) and bar code printers, which are very flexible and compact to
get fitted in any space or location.
The most appealing and acknowledged component of bar coding system involves a bar code scanner, which you have for
sure ascertained as a red light that seems to appear every time a bar code is scanned. Comprising no as such moving
elements, bar code scanners are used as hand held devices and permanent fixed bar code instrumentations. Becoming an
indispensable part of our daily lives, bar coding systems can even scan damaged or low quality bar codes with utmost
accuracy and preciseness. All the components of bar coding system were especially designed as light weighted, compact
and mobile, considering space management purposes in mind. In short, bar coding equipment’s and bar coding scanners
have changed the entire world procedure, leading it towards more accurate and speedy transactions, saving a lot of time of
people.
What’s amazing is that today’s QR Codes can be seen on T-shirts, retail store windows, even baseball gloves at a sporting
goods store. You name it, a QR Code is probably attached to it. Today’s smart phones can easily scan a QR Code to see
how much the product costs to searching for a better price at other stores. But using the QR Codes to test and monitor
buying behaviors is the latest crave for this high tech square of dots known as QR Codes.

David Key Irvine CA: The Effects of Fax Transmissionon Bar Code DecodingDavid Key, Irvine CA, the bar coding technology expert explains about the effects of Fax transmission on bar code
decoding, he says as per the faxed documents of bar coding symbols, it has been ascertained that the quality of bar code
symbols have been degraded. All the documents are scanned by the fax machines in accord to the standard resolution
sampled as per 98 vertical dots per inch and 204 horizontal dots per inch.
Afterwards, each and every sample point is translated into a black or white value, a procedure known as binarization.
According to this process, the straight lines of the bar code symbols are converted into ragged ones, altering the width of
spaces and bars. Every additional fax cycle extends to delineate the quality of a bar code. In fact, at a certain point, the symbol
is not able to get decoded by the bar code decoding software.
David Key, Irvine CA tells two symbologies in order to explain Effects of Fax Transmission:-
1. (1D) Linear symbologies – Two most popular linear symbologies were analyzed and tested – Code 39 and Code 128. Code
39 uses two bar and space widths to convert the information whereas Code 128 uses four. Afterwards, thirteen most belittled
module sizes varying from 12.5 to 32.5 mil of every symbol form were encoded and printed on a sheet. The sheet was beamed
and sent via fax at standard resolution for ten cycles. The resulting eleven pages were scanned via scanner at approx. 300
samples per inch and were represented to a bar code decode software. Both bar code symbologies were able to successfully
decode for 3 faxes at 2.6 samples per module, whereas the same codes having 6.6 samples per module were able to read even
after 10 faxes. There is one thing to consider i.e. the greater the size of the module of linear code is, the more horizontal it will
be to encode the same amount of data, but the larger module sizes can improvise the read rate.
2. (2D) Matrix symbologies – This process renders better information about the accuracy and density as the information gets
encoded in both vertical as well as horizontal directions. The data matrix used was a 12*12 module square symbol, and 2D
symbols can be printed with much greater size module symbols, as compared to linear symbols encoding the same
information.
In a nutshell, if the documents comprising varied bar code symbols are faxed multiple numbers of times, then the bar code
symbols get printed with a greater sized module to be successfully decoded.

David Key Advantages of Barcoding TechnologyUpon graduating from College, David was hired as a national sales rep for a third party barcode technology company (ICC).
Here are some reasons barcode is this industrty continues to thrive:
1. Barcoding process lowers labor costs as well as optimum time. Eliminating the need for manual labor, helps with efficiency
and accuracy. It’s an incredible tool for tracking products and even services.
2. The collection of data and information is much fast. A scanner can record the type of data approx. 7 times quicker as
compared to a skilled and proficient typist working manually. The accuracy and precision gets improvised up to 10,000 times
better with the help of a scanner.
3. Availability of an easy and rapid access to information and other details about inventory, products and services. Along with
keeping a full control and hold on inventory management system, it assists in prompt decisive making. Real time data can
make the difference in millions of dollars for companies regardless of their products.
More Uses of barcode Technology
1. One of the most common applications is the point of sale, where the products we buy as users gets scanned at the cash
point. It really saves time and as a result it’s help keep the cost of products down.
2. Can be used for production organizations and firms to keep a track of the different stages of work being completed on a
project, barcodes aid in keeping detailed and thorough information about each and every step of the manufacturing
procedure.
3. Scanning process fully controls and ascertains the inventory management. At regular intervals of time, data can be
uploaded from a hand-held scanner to company’s system, lowering your time as well as effort.
4. Today it’s also used for security practices; barcodes provide an easy access to the employees to their destined and intended
work arenas.
5. In the packaging and warehouse environments, barcode printers plays a vital role by providing assistance in identifying
parts and numbers for shipping products.
6. Medical and dental clinics make use barcodes as a means to keep patient records sieved more easily and conveniently.
In short, David Key of Irvine Orange County/ pointed that the origination of barcodes has changed the way firms handle
time and money in a more cost effective manner.

Company to Use Robotics to Deliver BetterBuilding Frame
AGC member David Key has a vision for how to build a better building frame – and plans for how to deliver it.
Precision Steel Inc., which will combine advanced technology with automated robotics equipment to design and mass
produce steel walls and trusses engineered to be superior to traditional wood frame structures or buildings that use
traditional steel framing. does architectural engineering and designs, 3D virtual tours of the plans, and interior build-outs for
a variety of projects.
In this Q&A, David Key describes the plans for this new company, the technology it will employ, and how he sees it changing
the industry.
California Constructor: How did the idea for this technology and the creation of Precision Steel, Inc. come to you, and how did
you develop it?
David Key: The actual idea for the Precision Steel when we designed and built an apartment complex. While watching the
framers frame the wood, I had an idea. Why couldn’t we do this in puzzle pieces? We were able to convert the CAD
engineering to virtual tours, so I thought…”why can’t we then convert the engineering to the puzzle formats and break the
structure down by each individual stud…?” We were able to do this, but the wood was too heavy to lift if we made the walls as
one piece of the puzzle. In addition, wood is too tough on equipment when assembling the walls as one unit. So we looked at
light gauge steel. It was light, easy to cut, simple to assemble and didn’t rust, mold, rot or burn. Sounded like a perfect
material.

We then developed the technology to break down the entire project by the walls, and then by each individual wall within the
complex. The software analyzes each square foot of the structure for better structural support. This makes the walls stronger
than traditional stick by stick framing.
Our final chapter was to develop automated equipment that can assemble each wall in sizes that can be easily shipped (locally,
nationally or worldwide). The technology knows how to cut each stud with precision for each wall, then cut them in the order
they are to be assembled by the robotics equipment. This allows us to robotically manufacture steel walls in puzzle form in a
mass production environment. The factory will have the capability to engineer, mass produce, store and retrieve huge
volumes of steel walls for shipping.
To sum this up, we will have the largest mass production facility of its kind that uses existing engineered projects, converts
them to reinforced structural robotic puzzle pieces (all of which are reviewed and stamped by a licensed structural engineer),
which then are delivered to the sight for fast framing installation.
California Constructor: What are the primary benefits that Precision Steel’s productions will have over traditional steel or
wood framing?
David Key: Contractors for decades have been getting their studs by having the studs (same length) delivered to a site, then
having framers manually cut each stud to frame a building “stick by stick.” Well I’m taking steel framing to another level by
6/29/13 12:46 PMDavid Key Irvine California | Be Updated…
Page 13 of 14http://davidkeyirvinecalifornia.wordpress.com/
providing contractor/builders with a better, stronger, more precise product using robotics. Our goal is to save builders time,
labor and money by using pre-made puzzled walls for fast installation. It’s better than an erector set.
We will be able to do this with steel that is up to 90% recycled steel, making it a green material. This allows builders to qualify
for green incentive tax credits from the state.
We are serving an existing market (steel framing) with a stronger product that is easier and faster to frame. Mass production
keeps the cost down.
California Constructor: What is your time frame for opening your company, and how many people do you expect to employ?
Fsster Framing with Robotically Made Steel Walls
David Key: Initially there will be approximately 30+ employees which will grow to over100 employees by year two. Our
corporate engineering facility will be located in California and will be the central hub for all engineering for each factory
(placed regionally).
A Contractor’s Perspective
During the AGC of California’s Spring Conference this past May, David Key showcased the technology his company will use
to a receptive group of AGC contractors in an impromptu presentation organized by David Colon, NK David Contractors.
Colon is enthusiastic about the potential for the technology, commenting “there is a need in the commercial construction
market place for pre-built steel walls using recycled steel. Pre-built walls can reduce the construction schedule by having the
walls built off-site while the underground and foundation work is being completed and then delivered to the jobsite ready for
installation Pre-built walls can help lower the costs of field labor thus reducing the projects costs.”
Colon adds, “Using recycled steel will projects meet LEED requirements and will add to our Green Building initiatives, and

recycled steel may be less expensive than wood or new steel. Overall the potential for pre-built steel walls is great.”
