Barcoding
published: cw 10, 2005 in Supply Chain Technology & RFIDBarcodes are an identification system used in the logistical process to store information within a predetermined format for reading by a barcode reader, such as a fixed or portable laser scanner.
The information in a barcode can include the name of the company that produced the product, serial numbers, expiry dates and order numbers.
When a product with a barcode is received by an organisation, the information can be quickly scanned into a database without the need for manually entering data, reducing errors and saving time.
