The first barcode on a product sold in a shop was in 1973 on a packet pf chewing gum. Every barcode scanner manufacturer claims to have produced the reader to read this barcode.
Product barcodes became the biggest thing in retail
and grew exponentially and GS1 was created to control barcodes Additionally, it is important to consider the type
of barcode you will be scanning and the environment in which the scanner will
be used. For example, if you will be scanning barcodes in a warehouse with low
lighting, you may need a scanner with a stronger light source to ensure
accurate scanning.
There are about 30 major barcode formats that are commonly used today
based on the linear numeric, linear alpha-numeric, and 2D which, we all know
now from the constant scanning of QR codes during Covid. Each of these barcode
formats has seen adoption in particular applications that can take advantage of
their unique qualities.
GS1 has also developed standards for warehousing, medical, books, magazines and
many other areas. Barcodes for specific applications may require more than a
plug and play solution. Organisations like Cola manufacturers have thousands of
barcodes for a single product, to track promotions and down to the store that
sold it.
