What is Barcode?
A Barcode is a machine-readable code made of black lines and spaces (or sometimes dots/squares) that stores information such as a product ID, price reference, or tracking number. When scanned with a barcode reader or camera, that information is instantly retrieved by a computer system. Barcodes are widely used in retail, inventory management, logistics, libraries, and ticketing.
How does it work?
A barcode works by reflecting light in a specific pattern. When a scanner or camera reads the barcode, the dark and light areas are converted into digital signals. Software then decodes those signals into numbers or text and matches them with records in a database, allowing the system to immediately display the related information.
How to use it?
To use a barcode, you first generate one for your product or data, then print it or show it on a screen. When someone scans it with a barcode scanner or smartphone, the encoded information is read and processed by your system. This is commonly used for checkout, stock management, product identification, and verification workflows.
