A barcode system is an automatic recognition system that stores and transmits information through specific barcode patterns. These barcode patterns are composed of a series of bars and spaces of different widths, which can be read by barcode scanners and converted into computer-recognizable data.
Currently, the global barcode system market mainly consists of two types: one-dimensional barcode and two-dimensional barcode. Due to their simplicity, ease of use, and low cost, one-dimensional barcodes are widely used in retail, logistics, warehousing, and other fields; Due to their large information capacity and high security, two-dimensional barcodes have shown broad application prospects in fields such as mobile payments, electronic ticketing, and product traceability.
Introduction to Subdivision Types
One-dimensional Barcode |
Also known as linear barcode, its information is arranged in a direction parallel to the length of the barcode, from left to right or from right to left. The application of one-dimensional barcodes is very extensive, such as supermarket product barcodes, logistics tracking barcodes, etc. |
Two-dimensional Barcode |
Also known as a QR code, its information is arranged in two directions: horizontal and vertical. Two-dimensional barcodes can store more information and have higher reading speeds than one-dimensional barcodes. Common two-dimensional barcodes include QR codes, Data Matrix, etc. |
