Barcode: simple, dependable scanning.
Barcode identifies items by scanning a printed code, one at a time and in line of sight. It is often the lower-cost place to start.
When barcode fits
- A good fit
- Items handled one at a time, such as receiving, picking or checkout.
- Needs assessment
- Code formats, label sizes, print quality and the application that receives each scan.
- Consider RFID
- If you need to count many items at once or read without line of sight.
Barcode and RFID can work together: one label can carry both. See RFID.
