Barcode

Also known as barcode reader, barcode scanner. Category: E-commerce and workflow

A barcode is a machine-readable pattern, linear or two-dimensional, that encodes an identifier such as a product number. Scanning it with a barcode reader identifies the item instantly and without typing errors.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot Controls supports barcode readers in every part of the application: scanning marks items as received, finds them in the item list, loads preset sequences and prepares capture. Unknown codes can create new items automatically (the minimum code length is configurable), shelves and SmartCodes are barcodes too, and PhotoRobot Touch and PINK use scanning to start work.

  • QR code: A two-dimensional barcode that stores text or a URL and can be read by phone cameras.
  • SmartCodes: Printed PhotoRobot trigger codes that start software actions when scanned, such as starting a capture sequence.
  • Product ingestion: Receiving and registering products in the studio before photography: scanning, measuring, sorting.
  • SKU (stock keeping unit): A retailer's internal code for one distinct product variant.
  • GTIN: GS1's globally unique product number behind EAN and UPC barcodes.
  • Sort to shelves: PhotoRobot Controls feature that assigns workspace and preset to an item by scanning a shelf code.
