 Itis an automatic identification technology
 Bar code is a predefined format of dark
bars and white spaces
 Structured to contain a specific piece of
information
 It allows real-time data to be collected
accurately and rapidly
 Combination of barcode technology with
computer and application software
improves performance, productivity and
profitability
 When barcodes are used in the business
process, procedures are automated to increase
productivity and reduce human error.
 Whenever there is a need to accurately identify
or track something, bar-coding should be used.
 For example, in a data entry work environment,
workers may be required to enter an enormous
amount of data into a customer database
system.
 Instead of manually typing a customer
identification number into a database, if the
information is contained in a barcode, a data
entry operator may scan it in. This would
increase automation and reduce human error.
 The type of barcode to use for a particular
situation depends upon:
 1. The use.
 2. The data encoded in the barcode.
 3. How the barcode will be printed.
 There are two types of barcodes:
 1. Linear barcodes
 2. 2D barcodes.
 FOR LABORATORIES
 Bar code provides labels, printers and bar
code scanners specifically for the
LABORATORY environment.
 Our labels, suitable for all printers and
most software packages, can withstand
moisture, refrigeration and a variety of
solutions. The adhesive can also be glove
free.
 FOR INDUSTRY
 Bachelor of Computer Applications
provides consultation, equipment from a
variety of manufacturers and 25 years
experience in the data collection market. We
provide the solutions to your situation, not
an off the shelf packaged solution.
 import barcode
import random
def barcode_generator():
num=random.randrange(1,1000000000000)
print(num)
image=barcode.get_barcode_class('ean13')
image_bar=image(u'{}',format(num))
return "barcode geneated successfully"
One of the most common tools for reading
barcodes is the hand held barcode scanner. All
of the barcode scanners recommended and sold
by ID Automation have built-in decoders that
can read several different bar code types.
 Most of the scanners sold by ID Automation
receive their power from the PC keyboard or
USB port so no external power supply is
required. When a barcode is scanned, the data
is sent to the PC as if it was typed using a
keyboard.
 REPRESENT UNIQUE IDENTITY OF A
PRODUCT
 ACCURACY OF DATA INPUT (ERROR FREE)
 LABOUR SAVINGS BY AVOIDING MANUAL
SYSTEM
 MORE ACCURATE DESPATCH
 COST EFFICIENT
 REAL TIME DATA COLLECTION
 MEASUREMENT OF WORK IN PROGRESS
THROUGHOUT THE FACTORY
 RAPID ACCESS TO TOTAL PRODUCTION
COSTS
 System Failure may cost more delays.
 Scratched or crumpled barcodes may cause
problems
 Data must be coded in the barcode
 In laser scanning, durability and cost are
the two disadvantages
