What is data?
Data represents facts & figures
A set of data 2, 4, 3, 5, 6
This has no meaning.

But expressed as 03/08/1977 it
does have meaning, it is a date.
These can be
very simple…

and have the till add up to the total to include
discounts.

bar codes read incorrectly.
• Usability, operators can be low skilled, low paid
and trained to use systems quickly, customers can
even check them selves out.
• Cost effective, initial hardware and software costs
may be high, be return on investment and cost
savings are massive in comparison.

very
detailed…
Bar codes - Disadvantages
• If bar codes are wrinkled, distorted, inaccessible,
ripped or damaged even slightly, the reader can
have trouble reading them.
• Sometimes perfectly good bar codes don’t read
leading to frustration, and the cashier manually
entering the code, which could be done so in error.
• In large organisations, where staff turnover is high,
training is ongoing and can be costly.
• Printing the codes requires a high quality printer
as dot matric and inkjet printers do not done a
good enough job to print them.
