What is a Barcode?

A barcode is a machine-readable representation of data in a visual format. It consists of parallel black and white bars of varying widths that encode information. Barcodes are widely used in retail, warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing to quickly identify products and track inventory.

By scanning a barcode with a barcode reader or smartphone, you can instantly access product details, pricing, stock levels, and more — eliminating manual data entry errors and speeding up operations.
