National Barcode Day
A clerk at a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, scanned a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum, ensuring more than 40 years of efficiency and accuracy that began on June 26, 1974, when a clerk scanned a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum at a Marsh supermarket in Troy, OH. The barcode system developed by George Lauer, an IBM engineer, began to change the world on that day.

Barcodes have been transforming industries around the world since then. Barcodes, also known as UPC, 1 Dimensional (1D) codes, contain information that helps businesses and organizations perform their jobs more effectively. A QR code, or a 2 dimensional (2D) code, is a more recent version of the barcode. The QR code contains even more information than the 1D code.
Barcodes include a wealth of details, including pricing, product, dates, manufacture, and shipping. They are great for tracking inventory and sales, but they do so much more than that. Almost every industry uses barcodes, and they often make your life simpler without you even knowing it. Where can you find barcodes other than retail ones?
- VINs – Tracking a vehicle's history became simpler when a barcode was added to the VIN
- Barcodes track books, videos, periodicals, databases in and out of the library, as well as databases in and out of the library
- Barcodes are used by every major shipper to monitor shipments and deliver your orders. Logistics – Every major shipper uses barcodes to track orders and deliver your orders
- Barcodes help patients' health care be more efficient and reports can be obtained at the provider's fingertips. Healthcare – Barcodes help keep patient care more organized and data accessible
- Agricultural – Farmers use barcodes to track harvests and livestock
Imagine how different our lives would be without these unobtrusive black and white bars and the delectable beep every time we scan a product, delivery, or file. It is certainly a technology that will be around for a long time, simplifying our lives. National Barcode Day is another reason to celebrate National Barcode Day.
