Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode scanners or barcode readers. In the UK and elsewhere, barcodes are placed on items in order to store or track information about them. Barcodes are widely used to implement AIDC (Auto ID Data Capture) systems which greatly improve the speed and accuracy of computer data entry. An advantage of a barcode system over other methods of AIDC is that it is less expensive to implement.
The range of UK barcode scanners and portable data terminals includes: UK laser barcode scanners, CCD barcode scanners, wireless barcode scanners, pen-style barcode scanners and ruggedized barcode scanners.. Applications include retail, stock control, shipping, point-of-sale, and many others
