More than 30 years of experience
The history of Barcotec is characterised by a multitude of innovations that have resulted either from the requirements of our customers or from developments of related manufacturers (for example Denso as the inventor of the QR code).
The high level of technical expertise coupled with innovative intrepidity and reliability in implementation have made us a favoured partner of our customers for decades.
Here is an overview of the biggest milestones:

Bester Lieferant für Datenerfassung
Das Österreichische Gallup-Institut hat uns erneut zum „Besten Lieferanten für Datenerfassung“ gekürt.

Neues Büro in Wien
Über mehr Platz, die urbane Lage und gute Verkehrsanbindung freut sich nicht nur unser bestehendes Team, der neue Standort ist auch Startpunkt für einen weiteren Ausbau unserer Dienstleistungen.

HMT-1 data glasses conquer Europe
Realwear appoints Barcotec as their very first distributor for the Central European region and awards the title "Master Distributor", allowing the Head Mounted Tablet to start its triumphal march through our region.

Pager solution "Groundcontrol" is rolled out
The innovative pager solution is being rolled out for the first time. It makes it easier for hauliers to reach cross docking stations for pick-ups.

Birth of "easyMITS" Mobile Interface to Servers

Comprehensive 2D code project is implemented
In Siegendorf, Burgenland, we realised one of the largest 2D projects of the year. Stationary and mobile data matrix recording was implemented on the basis of directly used codes (direct part marking).

Radio data transmission is implemented in the warehouse for the first time
At a time when the term "Wifi" had not yet been born, we realised the first project for connecting mobile clients via radio data transmission in the central warehouse of a large retailer. The new "frequency hopping" technology enabled friction-free data transmission.

Founding of Barcotec
In March 1989, DI Olaf Kerp founded the first specialised provider of barcode automation and mobile data capture - BARCOTEC - in Anif near Salzburg.
