The barcode scanner uses its software to convert this information into a digital signal which performs the programmed function such as displaying of information, updating the inventory etc. The barcode readers have an embedded auto discrimination feature which identifies the symbology used and decodes accordingly. Auto discrimination makes barcode data entry extremely accurate by enabling the readers to map the combinations to the correct character.
With an error rate of one per 3 million characters and size variable up to a couple of inches, barcodes have become a very convenient way of storing and reading information. Barcodes have found a broad range of applications such as shipping and logistics, retailing, managing books and documents and other organizational applications. In asset and inventory management, functions such as inventory control software, warehouse management, package tracking etc. can be easily completed using barcodes. In mobile data collection industry barcodes provide an optimum solution for market activity tracking, wireless data collection and batch data collection which require high level of efficiency and accuracy.
