Barcode Abstract

Barcodes are machine-readable representations of data that are attached to objects, originally using varying widths of parallel lines but now using 2D patterns like rectangles and dots. Barcodes are scanned by optical barcode readers and have advantages in retail like better time allocation, but also have disadvantages like high initial costs for installation and training. Barcodes have expanded from retail to many other fields through their ability to represent data optically.

'BARCODE & BARCODE READER'

ABSTRACT

Barcode or Barcode Reader is an optical machine-readable representation of


data relating to the object to which it is attached. Originally barcodes
systematically represented data by varying the widths and spacing of parallel
lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D). Later they
evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two
dimensions (2D). Although 2D systems use a variety of symbols, they are
generally referred to as barcodes as well. Barcodes originally were scanned by
special optical scanners called barcode readers.

In the Introduction & the brief history of the Barcode have been discussed. In
this process preparation, features and advantages, disadvantages are discussed
and future aspects and conclusion have been discussed.

We are concluding that barcode has its advantages in many fields in Retail arena
like better time allocation and decision making in many spheres of retail.
Unlike advantages, it has its bottlenecks also like initial cost is quite high while
installation and proper training and education.
