Barcodes, encoding information into black and white spaces, are read by scanners, collecting product data and sending it to a centralized computer system for tracking. It is crucial to assess the suitability of a bar-coding system for your business needs before implementing it. Warehouse is a convenient storage facility, but managing hundreds or thousands of products can be challenging without proper tracking. The choice of barcode depends on the amount of product information that needs to be encoded. Basically barcode are two types. *1 D Barcode:-1D barcodes are linear, vertical lines used for tracking packages, mail, and retail items, consisting of flat, horizontal lines that stretch horizontally across a space. The space between lines enables barcode scanners to accurately identify specific products, and a traditional barcode system must be linked to a database for its significance. 1D barcodes are crucial for businesses with numerous stock-keeping units (SKUs) as they enhance inventory accuracy and eliminate the need for manual inventory tracking. One-dimensional barcodes include UPC-E, EAN-13, Code 39, EAN 128, USPS IMB, UPC-A, RSS-14, Code 93. *2D Barcode:- 2D barcodes encode data using complex patterns like dots, squares, and shapes, storing more product information than 1D barcodes, including inventory details, images, and more. Product can be identified with a smaller size than 1D barcodes, yet still provide extensive product information. Benefits of barcode in inventory system:-*Improve efficiency:-Barcode warehouse inventory system enhances the accuracy and speed of product data and information reading. Barcode scanners facilitate efficient and precise information tracking and operation. *Cost efficient:-Accurate data transfer in the system enhances company efficiency, saves money on errors, and ensures smooth and error-free operations.
