The Uses Of A Wine Barcode

By Hilda Durham


Perhaps, you have noticed a black label with stripes in the items you purchased from a shop. The items with labels are commonly punched by a cashier and price automatically comes up. This is called a barcode and it provides different uses for any item. A wine barcode is one of them and usually wine bottles have a particular symbol on the labels. This is quite important for most retailers to speed up their inventory and the process of sales through scanning the bottles. This is also essential in the wine cellar management.

Each bottle labels are called EAN barcodes that represents a complete series of numbers from its origin and the winery company in representing wines. Each number is not descriptive and to use these barcodes, a database is necessary and mostly created to find out each meaning of a label.

Since, there are already beverages that are introduced in the winery industry, there is also a shortage of single database or a full database. Most wine cellar software programs have created barcodes for the database, but commonly the beverages are not yet available in the stores.

Usually, you start the barcode data information through scanning them on the first bottle and enters the data. The succeeding bottles will be entered also through scanning its marker and enters the quality to have a loaded data field.

It is important to enter the best beverage, since there are lots of winery companies, that fails to have a distinction for its label. There are also wines sold that has no barcodes and the qualities are unrecognized. This makes the bottle labels to be insufficient in the stock management of the cellars. That is why the second labels are carried to the bottle tags to complete the process of inventory.

The neck badges are pre printed. Each tag composed of unique numbers with markers that has replicated to the number. The tags are designed to be printed together with some information and details of the wines. So, each bottle is determined through their unique digits and its label ensures the speed and accuracy.

The scanners are important in the scanning process of a beverage bottle label and to speed up the entry processing data for new wines in a cellar. Once these wines have been already entered to its database and number of tags are applied, the bottles can be placed in a cellar.

The digits in the labels, particularly the last three digits can be quickly scanned through a dim light of the cellars. The cellar software selects a wine for the scanning. When you have opened a bottle, place the tag in a safe and secure area. Take the markers to the scanners and you can also remove the wines.

If there are badges in a certain cellar that are not used, the inventory will also fail. This is a probable cause if there are lacking tags and the opened beverage bottles are not recorded. This is a result of inventory breakdown.
