UPCEAN13

UPCEAN13 is a barcode symbology used for tracking and identifying products in retail and other industries. It is a part of the Universal Product Code (UPC) system, which is widely used in North America. The UPCEAN13 barcode consists of 13 digits, including a one-digit system character, a five-digit manufacturer code, a five-digit product code, and a one-digit check digit. The system character indicates the type of product, such as consumer goods or pharmaceuticals. The manufacturer code is assigned by GS1, a global organization that manages the UPC system, and the product code is assigned by the manufacturer. The check digit is used to verify the accuracy of the barcode. UPCEAN13 barcodes are typically printed on product packaging and are scanned using barcode scanners or mobile devices with camera capabilities. The data encoded in the barcode can be used for inventory management, point-of-sale transactions, and other business processes. The UPCEAN13 symbology is also compatible with other barcode symbologies, such as EAN-13, which is used in Europe and other parts of the world.
