Barcode Technology Resource Page

Barcode technology is an automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) system that encodes data into a machine-readable visual format, typically represented by a sequence of parallel lines (1D) or geometric shapes (2D). When a scanner emits light onto a barcode, the dark elements absorb the light while the light spaces reflect it back; a sensor then captures these reflections and converts them into digital signals for a computer to decode. By replacing manual data entry with this instantaneous process, barcodes have significantly reduced human error and transformed global commerce, enabling real-time inventory management, streamlined logistics, and enhanced traceability across industries ranging from retail to healthcare.

To build a robust barcode system, you need more than just a scanner; you need a cohesive ecosystem where hardware, software, and physical materials work in harmony. Beyond the basic reader and interpreting software, the success of your application depends on several critical technical variables..
