Barcoding is a method of encoding information in a visual format that can be easily scanned and read by machines. It typically involves a series of parallel lines or squares that represent data, such as product information or inventory details. Barcodes are commonly used in retail, logistics, and manufacturing to streamline processes and improve accuracy.
When a barcode is scanned using a barcode scanner, the encoded information is quickly retrieved and processed by a computer system. This technology helps businesses track products, manage inventory, and enhance customer service by reducing errors and speeding up transactions.
