for products
- Automatically updates the
stores database when the
product@s barcode is

- The barcodes may become
corrupt and have to be entered in
manually, wasting time
- The barcode doesn't
hold a lot of information
about the product
- The barcode has to
be manually scanned
to update the
database/system
- How it Works
- 12 numbers in the barcode
- 1st number-Product Type
- 2nd-6th number-Manufacturer code
- 7th-11th number- Product Code
- 12th number- Check Digit
- Has a quiet zone to determine the
speed of the scan
- Each section of 7 bars/gaps represents a number
- The scanner reads the code,
converts it into a number and
retrieves the information linked
to that number
- RFID Tags
- Advantages
- Can be read from up to 100ft
- Carries more information than a bar code
- Transfers data faster than a barcode
- Automatically updates the
system/database without the need of
manually scanning it
- Disadvantages
- More expensive
to use than a
barcode
- How it Works
- 3 main parts
- Antenna
- Transponder
- Receiver
- The scanner reads the
signals emitted from the
RFID Tag
- Data is transmitted along these signals
- Radio Frequency
