vöötkooditüüpide

Vöötkooditüübid refers to the various kinds of barcodes used for encoding information. Barcodes are a visual representation of data that can be read by machines. There are two main categories of barcodes: one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D).

One-dimensional barcodes, such as the Universal Product Code (UPC) or Code 128, consist of parallel lines of varying widths. These lines represent numbers and characters, and the barcode is read by scanning across the lines. UPC barcodes are commonly found on retail products for inventory and sales tracking. Code 128 is a more versatile linear barcode that can encode all 128 ASCII characters, making it suitable for a wider range of applications, including shipping and logistics.

Two-dimensional barcodes, like QR codes and Data Matrix, store information both horizontally and vertically within a matrix of squares, dots, or other geometric shapes. This allows them to hold significantly more data than 1D barcodes. QR (Quick Response) codes are widely recognized for their ability to store URLs, contact information, and text, and are often used in marketing and mobile applications. Data Matrix codes are known for their high data density and robustness, making them suitable for marking small items and industrial applications.

The choice of barcode type depends on the amount of data to be encoded, the required readability, and the intended application. Each vöötkooditüüp has specific characteristics that make it more or less appropriate for different use cases.
