Representing numbers Bar codes represent series of numbers. A barcode scanner can then read the number into a computer; barcode inventory software keeps track of all the important information about the item. The description, price, and inventory information then can easily be retrieved. Bar-coding is used in many industries,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, from retail and grocery stores to libraries to shipping, product manufactures to health care. A bar-code reader, or "scanner,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login," is needed to read a bar code.
Bar code design Most bar codes represent numbers using black and white stripes of varying widths on a white background. Each numeral in a bar code is represented by a combination of thick and thin white and black bars. There are many different standards for bar-code design, depending on the intended use and the amount of information that is to be conveyed by the bar code. Radio frequency identification or RFID is becoming a more popular way to tag items. It uses radio waves to track and indentify products.
Scanners Bar-code scanners use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to scan the bar code,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, and reflect the image onto a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD). The CCD transmits the information to a computer that retrieves information about the product from a database,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, and also adds information to the database that the product was scanned. When using RFID technology a station to read the radio waves from the RFID chip is required.
Scanner Varieties Bar codes and scanners are used in a variety of ways. The most common is the counter-top scanners found in most super markets and large retail stores, which use lasers to scan the bar codes. Handheld scanning "guns" also are used in stores that sell large items in customers' carts. Portable handheld scanners are used by store employees to order inventory. The advantage of using a RFID chip is you do not need a visual on the chip itself to scan. As long as the radio waves are picked up the item can be identified.
In addition to bar code scanners found in supermarkets to check out and reorder items, companies are now using bar-codes and RFID technology to track inventory in their warehouse and on the road. The bar-coding software allows users to track their product from the manufacturing floor all the way to delivery to the end customer. Bar-coding technology is becoming a cost effective solutions for many different industries and no doubt will become even more useful in the future.
