WHAT IS A BARCODE?

● It is an automatic identification technology


● Bar code is a predefined format of dark bars and white spaces
● Structured to contain a specific piece of information
● It allows real-time data to be collected accurately and rapidly
● Combination of barcode technology with computer and application software improves
performance, productivity and profitability

WHY TO USE BARCODES?
 In the early 1970s, common barcodes started
appearing on grocery shelves. To automate the
process of identifying grocery items, UPC
barcodes were placed on products.
 Today, barcodes are just about everywhere and
are used for identification in almost all types of
business.
 When barcodes are used in the business
process, procedures are automated to increase
productivity and reduce human error.

HOW DOES IT WORKS?

 Each Barcode Lable have a few different


parts :
 Manufactures id
 Product item number
 Other digits

 The first five numbers seen on the labels


represents the manufactures id

 The next set of five numbers is the product


item number .

ADVANTAGES

 REPRESENT UNIQUE IDENTITY OF A  COST EFFICIENT


PRODUCT  REAL TIME DATA COLLECTION
 ACCURACY OF DATA INPUT (ERROR  RAPID ACCESS TO TOTAL PRODUCTION
FREE)
COSTS
 LABOUR SAVINGS BY AVOIDING
MANUAL SYSTEM
DISADVANTAGES
 System Failure may cost more delays.
 Scratched or crumpled barcodes may cause problems
 Data must be coded in the barcode
 In laser scanning, durability and cost are the two disadvantages
CONCLUSION
 Technology behind barcodes is constantly improving.
 This greatly helps in keeping track of larger number of item in a store.
 The tracking of item movement, including rental cars , airline luggage , nuclear waste,
mail and parcels.
