A barcode is a machine-readable optical label consisting of a pattern of parallel lines, bars, spaces, or two-dimensional symbols that encodes data in a visual format. This encoded information—typically product identifiers, serial numbers, or tracking codes—can be rapidly scanned and decoded by optical reading devices such as barcode scanners or smartphone cameras. In logistics and supply chain management, barcodes serve as the foundational technology for automated data capture, enabling accurate identification, tracking, and management of products, packages, and inventory throughout the entire supply chain.
