stregteknologier

Stregteknologier refer to a collection of technologies that utilize unique patterns of lines and spaces, known as barcodes, to represent data. These technologies enable rapid and accurate data capture, revolutionizing inventory management, point-of-sale systems, and logistics. The most common form is the one-dimensional barcode, read by optical scanners that detect the reflection of light from the dark and light bars. When the scanner beam passes over the barcode, the pattern of reflections is converted into electrical signals, which are then decoded into machine-readable data.

Two-dimensional barcodes, such as QR codes, offer a more advanced solution. These store information both horizontally and vertically within a square matrix, allowing for significantly greater data capacity compared to their linear counterparts. This enables them to store complex information like website URLs, contact details, or even small amounts of text. Applications for these technologies are widespread, found in retail for product identification and pricing, in healthcare for patient identification and medication tracking, and in manufacturing for quality control and supply chain visibility. The efficiency and accuracy provided by stregteknologier have made them indispensable tools in modern commerce and industry.
