Data Capture & Barcoding

What is Data Capture & Barcoding

Data capture and barcoding technologies are methods used to collect and manage information efficiently. Data capture involves converting information into a digital format through methods like manual entry, OCR, RFID, and biometric scanning. Barcoding specifically uses visual, machine-readable representations of data, such as 1D or 2D barcodes, which are scanned to quickly capture and process information. These technologies improve accuracy, efficiency, and real-time tracking in various industries, including retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics.
