Forklifts and the QR Code

While viewing new posts at the Toyota dealer website portal, I was greeted with of all things a QR code, short for “Quick Response”. Now because a Toyota subsidiary Denso first introduced the code back in 1994, I shouldn’t have been too surprised, but that said I was still was.

Short for “quick response”, I’ve never seen the codes that way and maintain the belief that while functional, the code still requires too much fumbling around first to be called quick, second to be widely accepted and used in our industry at least.

Maybe I’m just looking at it from my personal view point. I’ve certainly seen the codes used here and there while out running around, but the prospect of having to pull my phone out, fumble around trying to find the app that I have that reads them and then squinting at my smart phone screen to read a website with font too small to measure never seemed, well workable.

What is your read, I’d appreciate some feedback. When seeing the QR code here was your first response to have your phone read it? Did you see the information you were given as timely and worth that effort? Do you see QR codes “taking off?”

In case you didn’t, and at the risk of upsetting the analytics TMHNA is likely collecting, this link will show you the site the code goes too.
