Barcoding as
a control product identification.
With
the development information technology, widespread introduction of computer
technology in many areas of production and management, for further solutions of
many problems associated with а fixing the fact of supplying, receiving, shipment, sale, transfer to the
subsequent stages of production, goods and products rises acute question about
a fast and reliable information entering particular product or food (goods) to
a computer. Manual entry of the product code, position or line of the document
or pre-treatment data on media storage needs costly
manual labor, time, error-prone, and therefore this technology to enter
information into the computer has become the bottleneck of modern automated data
processing systems.
In
the Republic of Kazakhstan and abroad are seriously involved works in creation of
automated data processing systems with application of machine-readable, one of
the species, which are documents with bar codes. The shipping documents, labels
and packaging of goods, check books and plastic cards to pay for services,
magnetic media relate to a machine-readable. The terms "Electronic
sheet", "electronic money" were appeared on this.
The
most widely used graphics get fonts for encoding and recording information in
the optical range. There are three types: mark graphics, stylized fonts, and
font encoding (barcodes)
Barcode
is the most perspective and fast-passed trend of information enter automating
process into the computer for a number of computer using areas.
The
bar code is an alternation of dark and light bands of different widths.
Information carry the relative widths of light and dark bands and combinations,
thereof, wherein the width of these bands is strictly defined. The dark bands
are called strokes and bright - spaces (gaps). Barcodes are read by special
optical reader (reading device) of various types, including laser which
perceiving strokes, spaces, and combinations thereof, decodes the barcode using
microprocessor devices is carried out in the codes laid down methods of control
and output on the display, in a computer or other device values of these codes
in a specific alphabet (digital, alphanumeric) [1].
Barcode is the one of the way of
machine-readable information. Barcodes is the most famous of all automatic
identification technologies. Currently barcodes GS1 system underlie a
diversified worldwide communication system, the creation of which provided by
the two largest specialized international organizations - GS1 b AIM Global.
Barcode symbology EAN / UPC, represented the family of characters EAN-8,
EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, designed to encode digital information and one of the
basic machine-readable data carriers in the international system GS1. Code 128
barcode symbolic (Code 128) and Code 39 (Code 39), along with the symbols of
EAN / PUC and Interleaved 2 of 5 (2 of alternating) are currently the most
common in the world among linear symbolics in which character is represented by
a sequence of characters bar code symbols arrayed in one line. But as opposed
the EAN / PUC and Interleaved 2 of 5, these symbols allow encode not only
digital information, but data containing letters and special graphic signs as
well.
Data input is more accurate and fast since
the advent of barcode, and accordingly all the processes associated with the
processing of information faster and more accurate. Require a lot of time to
figure out the appointment or the current status of a job, tools, materials or
any moving object. Barcodes help track the movement of goods and thereby save
time, respond promptly to requests and respond to any changes. Barcode system
offers incredible value for any kind of business. With the help of barcode data
collection and recording of information becomes faster and more accurate
process that allows you to cut prices to reduce to zero the probability of
errors and streamline all processes of turnover [2].
Introduction
of information technology is not simply the presence of a computer control
system, but also the obligatoriness for a digital device at the points of the
primary collection of information to facilitate the entry of information,
reduce the number of manual operations and minimize the errors number at data
entry.
Among
the many problems associated with the primary collection of information, you
can select the automatic identification (recognition and distinction)
heterogeneous objects (products, equipment, luggage, documents, etc.). The
implementation of this solution involves the following steps:
- Assigning each subject specific identifier (code
number);
-
Application specialized label
containing an identifier on the subject;
-
Reading data from the label
with a digital device;
-
Transfer of data labels in electronic form.
-
The identifier can be used graphic,
magnetic, radio frequency and electronic tags.
All of them designed for
automatic identification and used in various
areas, but the most popular graphic mark in the form of a barcode. The barcode
damaged to the product package itself has no value. It is useful only where
organized a full exchange of data between points of sale and the control
computer system. If a retailer such a system exists and the most products have
a bar code, then everyone benefits from it: both sellers and buyers, and
management personnel. Sellers - by reducing the number of manual operations and
as a consequence, increase speed and reduce the number of errors. Buyers - by
improving the level of service (now they do not have to stay long where you
have to leave with the money). Management personnel - at the expense of timely
information about sales and stocks of different species and the possibility to
make timely decisions on the replenishment of stocks of certain types of goods
[3].
In a competitive environment, the most part
of information must be operational and inaccessible for use specifically
unregulated users. Barcoding gives us such opportunity.
The
presence of barcoding on the package gives the opportunity to organize
effective monitoring of the origin of а goods at any point,
from the packaging line, ending with a warehouse store. The use of barcoding
can significantly improve the following processes:
-
Producers - sorting, counting,
inventory control, shipping, goods.
-
Wholesalers - receipt of goods,
inventory control, shipping, payment.
- Transport services -
receipt of goods, selection and shipping.
- Retail
trade - getting goods shipment from a warehouse and inventory control.
Thereby from all the
above can be seen that lately barcoding has played an important role not only
in specific areas, but also in our daily lives.
