History

The first barcode patent was registered in October 1952 (US Patent # 2,612,994) by the inventors Joseph Woodland, Jordin Johanson and Bernard Silver in the United States. The implementation was made possible by the work of engineers Raymond Alexander and Frank Stietz. The result of their work was a method to identify railroad cars using an automatic system. However, it was not until 1966 when the barcode began to be used commercially and was only commercially successful in 1980.

uses:The numbers you see behind the products, usually with a white background and vertical bars, are barcodes, also called UPC and EAN codes (these are the most common).

Every product has a unique barcode number, so if you have a 500 gram macaroni pack and another of the same 200 gram brand, both will have different barcodes. Thus, for each flavor, color or different variation of the same product you sell, you will need a unique barcode.

Bar codes were created to facilitate the integration of products, merchandise, packages, etc. In stock In the past, there was a big problem of huge rows of packages and lack of control of product stocks, and the barcode emerged as a solution to this problem.

GS1 created an official model to standardize the processes of product identification and commercial management, which has existed since 2006. This standard is an alphanumeric barcode that is used in more than 140 countries, which allows to place a large amount of information on a product In a small space.

Each line of the bar code represents a number 1, and the blank space represents a 0. The two thin and more compressed bars at the beginning and end of the code indicate the beginning and end of the product code and serve to facilitate reading of the code by the scanner.

The GS1 barcode system is used all over the world and if you want to increase your productivity, reduce costs, increase control of your stock and reduce parcel queues in your company, then you need these barcodes.
