Barcode

Barcodes are printed-on alphanumeric data which consist of binary characters in the form of parallel bars and gaps of varying thickness. These can be scanned optoelectronically by bar code scanners and assigned to a customer or product with the help of a corresponding software.

Memory chip

Gold-shining contact chips which are implanted into plastic cards are called memory chips. In these cards the chip functions as a data storage which can be written and read. The memory chip can be recognized by its hexagonal shape with six golden contact surfaces. Different chip types vary in memory size and available security features.

Processor chip

Processor chips belong to the category of contact ships. Thanks to the integrated micro-processor, they can process data autonomously. Thus, it is possible to execute programmes and to protect the saved data via cryptographic procedures from unauthorised access. They can be recognised by their almost squared shape with eight golden or platinum contact surfaces.
