Barcode Systems & Malls
Posted by on September 17, 2009
Automation Systems are now an integral part of different types of malls and superstores. Shoplifting and other kinds of incidents like these have really upset the owners of these edifices as their products were stolen and as a result their profits were being decreased as well. To remove this, barcode system has been installed in the malls, whenever any inventory comes into the mall’s warehouses, Barcode stickers are put on all the packages. This process is simple, where all the items are placed on a conveyor
and one by one stickers are placed on the packages & placed on the shelves. Whenever somebody gets something from the mall or the superstore, he goes to the counter and the person on the counter, puts the side of the package where sticker is placed in front of the scanner, then he pays the price, and he is cleared to take whatever he has purchased. If somebody try to steal something, he has to go through a scanner placed on every exit. Item not being cleared by the counter will automatically be detected by the scanner & it will start to buzz, let knowing the security that something is being stolen by the person trying to exit. This system is highly appreciated by the people, as it reduces the risk of shoplifting.
