    Visual Shelf Management

    ColorMarq enables visual shelf scanning to minimize shelf reading. It was designed and engineered specifically for library books and other shelved library media. Its color-code logic works with any and all classification systems.

  • System Overview

    color-bar-code-1

    Visual Color Bar Code

    ColorMarq ID logic is applied to the book's catalog index code, yielding an ensemble of horizontal color bars, a "color bar code", on each label. The color bars are aligned on the label according to the catalog index code of each particular book.
