Barcodes are so very versatile. The types of barcode scanners available today are also increasingly versatile in what they can do.
They are easier to use now than before and there’s now no need for loads of cables and decoder boxes.
It’s a simple case of plugging the scanner into PC with the cable and it is pretty much ready to go.
However, when the process is definitely easier, sometimes it is tricky for a business to decide which one to use.
There are so many options out there now!
We’re going to explore some different types of barcode scanner and how different industries use them today.

Far from slowing down since they were first introduced decades ago, the use of barcode scanners continues to grow.
Of course, this growth is more often obvious in the stores of our towns and cities, but barcode scanners appear in other places too.
They are in warehouses to keep track of inventory and by people in their homes to scan to find out details on the product itself,
particularly for those of us keeping track of our calories and foods consumed.
