Bar-coding:

Barcode technology is the best-known and most widely used method of Automatic Identification. Automatic identification or "Auto ID" encompasses the automatic recognition and recording of data, most commonly through the printing and reading of information encoded in barcodes eliminating risk of human error.
 
Early applications of bar code scanning, which included retail point-of-sale, item tracking and inventory control, have been expanded to include more advanced applications such as time and attendance, work-in-process, quality control, sorting, order entry, document tracking, shipping and receiving, and controlling access to secure areas.

Barcodes have been instrumental in revolutionizing, and significantly increasing efficiency and productivity across the entire Logistics & supply chain from manufacturers to distributors to retailers worldwide.
