rcode sys te m? 
The barcode system consists of three basic items, the Barcode Label, Barcode Printer and also Barcode Scanner.
Every barcode have their own unique bar/space patterns which represents various alphanumeric characters.
Types of barcode scanners
There are two types of barcode scanners, the Contact Barcode scanners
the Non-Contact Barcode scanners. Scanners that uses pen or wand to read labels \are usually known as the Contact Barcode Scanners while scanners that uses fixed
or moving beam and omni-directional are known as non-contact barcode scanners.

What are 2-D barcodes?
They are two type of 2-D barcodes known as Data Matrix and PDF417. The characteristics of these 2-D barcodes are. they have a higher density as compared to the rest of the barcodes. They can help increase data capacity and improve the data density.
Data Matrix is usually used for small item identification and conveyor sorting. Commonly used in pharmaceutical, electronic and automotive industries for registration document purposes.

Radio Frequency (RF) tag
What is RF tag?
RF tags are where data are stored in the micro chip embedded in each tag. The tags comes in various shapes n sizes. In order to be able to read Radio Frequency (RF) tag , we will need the RFID system which consists of the antenna, reader and transponder (the RF tag itself).
Types of RF tags
There are two main types of tags, Passive and Active tag. The passive tag is mainly used in the warehouse while the active tag is usually used for wider in the Supply Chain. The passive tag has the Multi-tag Capability that allows up to 1000 tags to be read with a single reader while the active tag has got a limited capability that allows to reads up to 50 tags per reader.
Forms of RF tags
RF tags come in various forms. Some examples are the Smart Pet, Smart Label and Smart Dome.
A smart label is usually used to track the product and its transportation. Ac more common mode used is the Smart label. It has an adhesive label that can be pasted onto the outer pack /case of the goods.
Purpose of using RF tags?
RF tags can be used for the tracking of products movement. By using the RF tags, the RFID can show all the information of all items in specific racks or locations. This will help them in the stock takes
Besides that, it can also be used to track vehicles and containers. With the use of RF tags, the company is able to track the location of vehicles and space in the yards for storing of containers.
RF tags can also be used as a mean of cargo security and location tracking by the following process:
(i) the RFID decoded data is downloaded into the host computer
(ii) the host computer sends the data via satellite technology to the headquarters or shippers
EDI
What is EDI?
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange. EDI is a process of exchanging information bet the suppliers such a their Purchase Orders, Sales Orders and most importantly inventory and demand visibility. The exchange of data information is done through Internet or Extranet
Advantages of EDI
Passwords used for transmission via extranet protects company propriety information
It allows more supplier or partners to participate
Inventory and demand visibility promotes or enables the Just In Time (JIT) manufacturing
Faster transaction of real time information
