Have QR Codes® created directly by the inventor of the QR Code®? Yes, it's possible - at DENSO WAVE. We invented the QR Code® in 1994 and have been constantly developing it ever since. So if you're looking for an individual QR Code® solution, you have the strongest partner at your side - stronger than any QR Code® generator.
Whether solutions for creating QR Codes® or for reading them - you will find the right solution for your application in our range. You want to stand out and individualize your QR Code® with an image or your logo, for example? Our Frame QR Codes offer you design flexibility. Or use our QR Code® based facial recognition for more security. Discover our QR Code® solutions for process optimization at work and in private life now.
QR Code Solution
Ensure greater security with our QR Code® facial recognition.
QR Code Solution
Use the Q Platform cloud server to generate and read codes and store relevant data about the codes.
QR Code Solution
Read QR Codes quickly and reliably with the QR Code Reader App from the inventor of the QR Code himself.
QR Codes® are used in almost all industries and work areas. We have listed some application examples that illustrate how QR Codes® simplify work and also make it safer.
Packaging and storage
QR Code® labels are applied to packaging cartons after verification with shelf numbers and stored. The main advantage is the fast traceability of the stored goods.
Error-free picking
A QR Code® prevents errors when assembling specific partial quantities. This can be a customer order or a production order. Another potential benefit in this context is real-time shipping management.
Higher work efficiency
QR Codes® make a significant contribution to improving work efficiency. Errors due to purely visual inspection can be avoided through them.
Accurate incoming goods inspection
Items are simply scanned at goods receipt, significantly reducing labor time. Similar goods can be distinguished more easily and without errors.
Transparent process management
Real-time process management improves work efficiency. QR Codes® support this by providing accurate feedback on delivery times and accelerating processes.
Improved brand image
Scanning QR Codes® can be used to monitor possible counterfeiting or illegal distribution of products. An important building block for a clean brand image.
Fast passenger checks on buses and trains
Passenger tickets can be checked quickly with a scan. This reduces the workload for staff.
Admission control at events
Mobile QR Codes® simplify admission control at events enormously: The much faster admission avoids long queues, costs for printing tickets are reduced, and there is the option of selling tickets shortly before admission to reduce sales losses.

QR Codes® are two-dimensional data storage devices in the form of a small square matrix with a black and white pattern of dots. Each black and white dot forms one of up to 177 x 177 encoded modules. Embedded in these modules is the information that is very quickly decoded by a QR Code® scanner. After all, the abbreviation "QR" stands for "Quick Response". In general, a QR Code® can process all types of data: numeric and alphabetic characters, symbols, digital binary and control codes. The high error correction makes the QR Code® particularly successful.
Creating QR Code® with high error correction
QR Codes® are significantly more resistant to dirt and damage than barcodes or Data Matrix codes, for example. The extensive error correction function makes this possible: information is embedded several times and can even be read when up to a third of it is illegible. This makes the DENSO WAVE invention highly reliable as an information carrier.
QR Codes® store more information than barcodes
A conventional bar code can store a maximum of 20 digits. A QR Code® can store 200 times that amount of information and transmit it to a QR Code® scanner at top speed. Because the QR Code® transmits information both horizontally and vertically, it can display the same amount of data in about one-tenth the space of a conventional bar code. The Micro QR Code® from DENSO WAVE is suitable for very small print formats.
A QR Code® generator creates the best-known 2D code according to a defined pattern position distribution: three squares at the corners serve as recognition points for the reader. In this way, background interference can be bypassed and stable reading of the generated QR Code® at maximum speed can be ensured.
You can find them everywhere these days, as every smartphone can now read the established 2D codes. Especially in the corona pandemic, the codes have found important uses: For example, as a digital vaccination certificate. With a CovPassCheck app, the code can be reliably checked. The QR Code® is also being used more and more as a payment system. Other popular functions that QR Codes® enable are
- redirecting via a link to a website or specific URL,
- the creation of a vCard,
- displaying a simple static text
- sending a predefined SMS or e-mail message
- the direct calling of a phone number
- the deposit of a WiFi password,
- a link to social media channels
- downloading a specific app or pdf file
- calling up an image
- and many other variants.
The QR Code® invented by DENSO WAVE received the IEEE Milestone Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE recognized the QR Code® for its contribution to improving the production and management of companies and for its worldwide dissemination as an important tool for the exchange of information and data in a wide range of applications and industries.
Even 25 years after its development, DENSO WAVE continues to develop the functions of the QR Code® - in the form of additional QR Code® types. For example, DENSO WAVE has developed the Secure QR Code (SQRC). It does not differ in design for the time being, but it does differ significantly in its function: It stores two types of data - public and private - in a single code. This means that public data can be easily read with any smartphone, but the private data is still encrypted and is only revealed to appropriate devices in a password-protected manner.
The second advancement is the FrameQR, which strikes a balance between free design and security. Here, all data is stored in the frame. This makes it possible to insert various graphics in the center, such as an image or a logo. Whoever now thinks that this function has been used in QR Code® marketing for a long time is right - but not legally secure in its use. This is only offered by the FrameQR.
