Barcode scanner, also known as barcode reader, is used to read the information contained in the reading device, using the optical principle, the content of the barcode decoding through the data line or wireless way transmission to a computer or other equipment. Barcode technology since its birth, has become one of the most important information management in modern society by virtue of its in the collection of information on the flexible and efficient,reliable, and low cost. The most common and barcode equipment as the front-end equipment information collection, is the prerequisite and basis for the application of barcode technology, and with the continuous development of bar code technology, has become the retail, logistics and warehousing, product traceability, industrial manufacturing, medical health infrastructure essential information system construction of electronic commerce and transportation systems and so on.
1. Barcode equipment is the main information collection equipment that widely used in material storage, transportation, distribution, sales, delivery and other aspects. In recent years, with the rise of online shopping, retail market and logistics and mutual adaptation, warehousing services industry has been greatly the developed with the support of advanced information management.
2. The basic mode of production is the industrial intelligent automation and intelligent production equipment,so barcode recognition technology is based on the machine vision is to achieve the detection of modern industrial equipment perception, one of the main communication path and the response of the material management in automatic production, parts recognition and sorting, dynamic production control, detection and tracking products are required to apply to the barcode recognition technology, machine vision system is to reduce human error, improve the degree of automation as well as flexible production line. Therefore, in the industrial automation field, barcode equipment can play a powerful function of its own.
3 According to VDC, the health sector will become the fastest growth in the handheld barcode equipment and mainly due to the popularity of mobile medical information solutions. Medical mobile information solutions to data exchange and mobile processing as the core, the use of bar code automatic identification technology and identification of biochemical specimens to exchange the hospital management information system (HIS) and clinical management information system (CIS) to build a mobile medical platform.
In recent years, with the mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data technology and related technology products have been widely infiltrated into various fields of society and economy, the new network networking fusion innovative feature of the intelligent mode of production is gradually shaping the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry in the future, to promote the formation of a new industrial organization and realize intelligent perception of the physical world and information acquisition processing and automatic control, also is the foundation of the development of the networking indury.
