GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) serves as an umbrella term that includes EAN, UPC, and other product identifiers, ensuring efficient and consistent tracking of trade items worldwide.
RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track items, offering more data capability compared to the visual bar codes of UPC.
Bar codes are patterns of wide and narrow bars printed on paper or similar materials, used to encode various types of data, commonly scanned by computers using laser beams or wands with a light source and photocell.
The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a number used to identify a product. Translated into bar codes consisting of vertical parallel bars, the UPC can be scanned by electronic cash registers for efficient sales and inventory tracking.
