Barcode Reader

A barcode reader is a device that scans and interprets the pattern of black and white stripes on a barcode to quickly identify and retrieve information about a product or item. Using a laser or imaging technology, it captures the pattern, then a computer decodes the data embedded in the barcode. This process streamlines inventory management, sales transactions, and tracking by providing instant, accurate data without manual input. Barcode readers are commonly used in retail, logistics, and manufacturing environments to improve efficiency and reduce errors.
