Barcode Scanning
Barcode scanning is a technology used to read information encoded in barcodes, which are patterns of parallel lines or squares printed on products. Each barcode contains a unique numerical code that represents specific information, such as a product’s price or description. When scanned with a barcode reader, which emits a light beam and detects reflections, the scanner translates the barcode into readable data that can be linked to a database. This process helps streamline transactions, inventory management, and product tracking in various settings, such as retail stores and warehouses, improving efficiency and accuracy in handling goods.

Barcode scanning is a technology used to quickly read and process information encoded in a series of parallel black and white lines, known as a barcode. Each barcode represents specific data about a product, such as its price or stock information. When scanned with a laser or camera-based scanner, the barcode is converted into digital information that computers can understand. This technology is widely used in retail, inventory management, and logistics to speed up transactions, reduce errors, and streamline tracking of products. By automating data entry, barcode scanning improves efficiency and accuracy in various industries.
