A QR code (abbreviated for Quick Response Code) is a type o f “matrix looking” barcode that was first created by Toyota in 1994 to track automobiles during the manufacturing process. Today, QR codes are being utilized on billboard, magazines, advertisements, websites, and for many other purposes. One of the newest industries that incorporated QR codes is the Pet Industry. They are getting more and more popular by the day and we’re to see them everywhere we go and look. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the pet industry in the U.S. in 2011 has outgrown the previous year by more than a whopping $2 Billion for a grand total of $50.84 Billion. We certainly love our furry friends!
Just about two months ago, Platinum Pets, Inc. released the world’s first metal pet tag with an engraved QR code on both sides of the tag, and instantly it was a major hit for the company. The ability to scan a pet tag with our smart phones and retrieve all the information that we need to know about the pet and its owner has revolutionized the way we find and return lost pets.
In just two months of Platinum Pets releasing this revolutionary product, the company has gained worldwide attention and record-breaking sales by quickly gaining major distributors in Canada, Japan, England, and the U.S.
With the help of Platinum Pets, and their scannable pet ID tags, we can rest assure that our pets are a little more safe, whether we are at home, or away. |
