Bar codes provide a mechanism for carrying data in a format that can be quickly captured with a bar code scanner or imager for warehouse inventory tracking and management. With a simple trigger pull, encoded data is captured quickly and accurately. Information gathered from inventory, shipping, and other operational areas reduces costs, improves efficiency, identifies trends and assists in decision-making.

In recent years, the use of imaging technology and advances in bar codes increased the amount of information that can be encoded. New scan engines and labeling technologies enable the use of these technologies even in the harshest of environments. Through these advances, scanning technology has becomes increasingly less expensive to acquire and implement.
