Point of sale/use
Just like you’ve seen at the checkout of your local supermarket, automatic identification speeds up processes through scanning the bar code of an item or product. Scanning works by accurately decoding the unique number from the bar code and retrieving the necessary information from a database or central catalogue. At point-of-sale, this information can be added to a customer’s bill or added to a patient’s medical record.
