The Adams Top Ten New Bar Code Products

For many years year, I went to the two leading trade shows about barcode technology and picks ten new products that I considers outstanding. The picks were subjective and based on my experience in the industry since 1983. In 2001 I stopped going to the show. I'm leaving the links to the pages to provide a historical perspective. Both ID Expo and Scan-Tech disappeared and were replaced by Frontline Conference and Expo, which has also disappeared.
