Extended data:

Bar code is by far the most economical and practical automatic identification technology. Bar code technology has the following advantages.

1, information collection is fast. Compared with keyboard input, the speed of bar code input is five times that of keyboard input, which can realize instant data input.

2. High reliability. The error rate of keyboard input data is 300%, the error rate of optical character recognition technology is one in ten thousand, and the error rate of bar code technology is less than one in ten thousand.

3. The amount of information collected is large. The traditional one-dimensional bar code can collect dozens of characters of information at a time, while the two-dimensional bar code can carry thousands of characters of information, and it has certain automatic error correction ability.
