Abstract :
Barcode technology is being viewed as providing the vision for computers to gain management control and information updating. Barcode symbologies which are being used widely have been explained with the aid of truth tables and examples. The various methods of generating barcode labels and the types of contact and noncontact barcode readers have been dealt with. Applications for which barcodes are suitable in general and also in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) is discussed in detail. Sample barcodes that are used in AS/RS inventory control, generated on laserjet printer, are given for better understanding
