AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture)

Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) refers to technologies that automatically collect and store information without manual input. This includes methods like barcodes, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and biometrics. AIDC systems improve efficiency in various industries by quickly identifying products, tracking inventory, or verifying identities with minimal human involvement. For example, when you scan a barcode at a store, the system instantly captures data about the item, speeding up the checkout process. AIDC enhances accuracy, reduces errors, and saves time, making it a vital part of modern operations in retail, logistics, healthcare, and more.
