In a scanning shop, when customers pay in front of the checkout counter after buying goods, the cashier can quickly input the numbers below the bar code into the computer as long as he gently passes through the platform equipped with a laser scanner with the goods with the bar code. Through query and data processing, the machine can immediately identify the manufacturer, name, price and other commodity information, and print out the shopping list. This can not only realize the automatic management of sales, warehousing and ordering, but also let manufacturers know the sales information in time through the production, supply and marketing information system. At present, there are about 700,000 POS scanning shops in the world, and more than 1,000 POS scanning shops have been built in China, including 33 in our province.
