Why Barcodes

Posted by admin on January 16, 2009  |  No Comments

Today, the retail industry has evolved to meet the requirements of today’s fast paced world by giving consumers a much faster checkout and pricing process. All of this is possible with the use of the barcode. A barcode is an encoding tag or label that’s placed on all product that allows computers to track and ring up products far faster and more accurately than transactions made by hand. For every two keystrokes made by a human, a barcode can read one whole product’s information. This is approximately 10 times faster than if a person were to enter in the information by hand.

For approximately every 1,000 keystrokes made by a human being, there are an average of 10 errors. With barcodes, for every 10,000 scans made by an optical scanner, there are an average of only 1 error. This should be evidence enough that when it comes to routine calculations you can not beat a computer! In the world of business, we all want to keep our overhead low. Using barcodes can actually reduce the amount of training time required for employees. A scanner is fairly simple to operate, and automatically does the computation for you. Teaching new employees how to use a scanner is very simple and really should only take a matter of minutes. This is much easier than having to sit down with employees and show them the store’s entire inventory and pricing process that they’d have to remember and be accurate each and every time. Another great benefit of barcodes is their cost effectiveness. It really only costs about one penny or so per barcode label. They can easily be printed and added to items in a timely fashion, so that your entire inventory is labeled and tracked immediately.

Whatsoever did we do before you tube? The internet giant has taken on a life of its own and it transpires that the method is permeating other regions of media, marketing, publicity, news and entertainment in the form of video reviews.

For a start, reading had only been reachable to the majority of westerners for a hundred years or so, before that, only the most rich were fortunate enough to be able to afford to educate themselves or their children. Even in modern society, there are many people who are illiterate and therefore can’t get information that’s presented in written form.

Then there’s the issue that even if a person can read, the material might not be presented in a language that could be understood. Arguably, trying to glean information from a video review in a foreign language isn’t necessarily going to be successful or precise, but it’s amazing the amount of information that can be decoded through body language and tone of voice. All you require to do is recall the last time you viewed a subtitled movie, or absent mindedly viewed a commercial whilst abroad
