Advantages of Barcode Scanning Technology

Barcode scanner occupies a very important part in the POS system solution. Meanwhile, the barcode scanning is by far the most economical and practical type of automatic identification technology. Barcode technology has the following advantages:

1. Input speed
Compared with the keyboard, barcode input is five times faster than keyboard input, which can enable “real-time data input”.

2. High reliability
The error rate of keyboard input data is 2.3%, the error rate of using optical character recognition technology is 1 in 10,000 while the error rate of using barcode technology is less than 1 in 1 million.

3. A large amount of information
Using conventional 1D barcode information, dozens of characters can be collected; 2D barcode can even carry information of thousands of characters, and have certain automatic error correction capabilities.

4. Flexible and practical
Barcode recognition can be used alone as an identification method, or as an identification device for automatic identification as a system, even it can be linked with other control devices for automated management.
