BarCode Scanner Battery

How barcodes have become a part of everyday life.

You, like many people, may have never seen a product without a barcode. Although you might not know why we have barcodes and what they do, you must have wondered what the beep means each time your shopping passes the laser at the checkout. Without the modern barcode, much of today's infrastructure would disintegrate. The barcode is the glue that holds the supply chain together and keeps the world running smoothly.

Have you ever looked closely at the black lines of a barcode and noticed the subtle differences in the width of the lines and white spaces, each line generates a character when scanned by the laser of a barcode scanner. Although the codes generated can vary in length, they do the same job. The codes enable fast data entry into computerized systems. Without these systems in place, it would be impossible to know even the most basic data like daily sales figures.

As the proverb goes, "necessity is the mother of invention". Joe Woodland saw the need for barcodes years before technology could bring his invention to life. The idea came to Joe one day whilst on a Miami beach. Joe quickly drew the first barcode in the sand, this was when the idea of the first barcode was born. Getting the customer through the checkout tills faster and accurate stock taking was costing businesses time and money. Solutions were needed to solve the requirements of the supermarkets of the day. Although patent submission was as early as 1949, it was only in 1974 when the first commercial barcode saw the light of day.

Have you ever wondered how barcode scanners work?

Today's barcodes have come a long way, practically everything that leaves a factory will have a barcode on it. Scanning of the barcode will take place several times before the product reaches our shelves. This process is used in the manufacturing process to ensure safety and to track stock. When the product is finally scanned at the cash tills, the retailer will use their software to determine daily sales figures, restocking of fast selling items, and other product details.

You probably have seen scanners most days, either at work or out shopping but have you ever wondered what happens when the laser beam hits the barcode? When you scan the barcode, it produces a code that your device can use. The data can be transmitted via a cord or through the air with wi-fi or Bluetooth. Your system will use information held in the database to match the code and show any data that is stored.
