21st Century Technologies, Colour Code Sign Strategic Partnership

A revolutionary new colour code technology has been introduced into the Nigerian market by 21st Century Technologies through a strategic partnership signed with the Tokyo, Japan based Colour Code Technologies.
The new technology is capable of converting significantly large size of digital data including texts, images, sounds and animations into an eight coloured matrix code.
According to 21st Century Technologies, which exhibited at the Computer, Technology and Office equipment exhibition (CTO) organised by the Commercial Service of the US embassy in Nigeria, encoded materials could be decoded from the colour patterns of the code through devices as a conventional scanner, web camera, mobile phone or digital camera.
Capable of being applied on paper through a four-colour processed printing machine or an inkjet printer, it provides a unique advantage in jobs that are sensitive with its special application in identification matters.
The Colour C Code, as it is often referred to is capable of embedding a unique ID inside the code which cannot be decoded by the official decoder as it allows only a specific personnel or authorised members to read the code.
Similarly as part of its security advantages over existing code systems, this new technology can have a password set inside the code giving it a special function for a specific use of an organisation or group.
Mr. Wale Ajisebutu, chief executive officer of 21st Century Technologies Limited, while reacting to his company’s relationship with Colour Code Technologies said he is quite impressed with the innovation and, “it would serve as a big advantage for businesses and state institutions in Nigeria which have been contending with issues of identity management and security of documents and individuals, among other things.”
Given its advancement over existing operations and being a 3D Code, Colour C Code can easily be useful in designs like voice embedded greeting cards, it can be used in determining salient information of origin, manufacturer, manufacturing environment, prescriptions and other details for medicines and foods.
Other agencies like advertisers, educational institutions and audio and other forms of books publishers, and inventory could also be managed using the code and this will lead to significant reduction in time for inventory management, among other advantages.
With its advantage of a maximum capacity per code of 85,019 bytes compared with the QR Code which is a 2D technology with capacity of only 2,953 bytes and the 1D Barcode which can only take 13 digits per a code; Colour C Code automatically leads to a drastic reduction in cost since data can be reproduced in paper. Other advantage is the minimised printing space since digital data like texts can be reduced into Colour Codes and its added security of any information.
With plans in the near future to establish a fully functional office in Nigeria, businesses of Colour Code Technologies would be managed by 21st Century Technologies; one of the nation’s leading fixed line telephone services operator and provider of last mile fibre aided services and integrated data warehousing system.
