Maintenance professionals are sometimes surprised at how many uses for a barcode reader fit easily with their workflows. How a Barcode Scanner Works Barcodes are everywhere. Barcode scanner system software reads the black and white patterns, and then translates it into data. That data can be almost anything: stock management, inventory and parts, assets, time calculations, and much more. This data is then retrieved via a computer database, like CMMS software.
