árukodók

Árukodók is a Hungarian term that translates to "price scanners" or "item scanners" in English. These devices are commonly found in retail environments, particularly in supermarkets and larger stores. Their primary function is to allow customers to quickly and independently check the price of a product. Typically, an árukodó consists of a scanner, a small display screen, and a user interface, often buttons or a touchscreen.

To use an árukodó, a customer usually scans the barcode of an item. The device then communicates with the store's inventory and pricing system to retrieve the current price. This price is displayed on the screen for the customer's review. The purpose of these scanners is to provide transparency and convenience, enabling shoppers to make informed purchasing decisions without needing to ask store staff for assistance. In some cases, árukodók may also offer additional information, such as product details or promotional offers, although price checking is their core function. They are an integral part of the self-service experience in many modern retail settings.
