The application cases of automatic code scanning equipment in the retail industry are very rich and diverse. In addition to the self-checkout systems and smart shelves mentioned earlier, there are also the following application cases:

Inventory management: Retail companies often face inventory management challenges and need to track the inventory status of goods in real time to avoid out-of-stock or overstocking. Automatic code scanning equipment can be used for goods entry, exit, inventory and other aspects. By scanning the barcode or QR code of goods, inventory data can be updated in real time to achieve automated management of inventory. This can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management and reduce inventory costs.

Price management: In the retail industry, the prices of goods often need to change to adapt to market demand or promotions. Automatic scanning equipment can be used for printing and updating price labels. When the price of a product changes, the product information can be quickly read through the QR code scanning device, a new price label can be printed, and then the original label can be replaced. This can greatly save labor costs and improve the efficiency of price management.

Member identification and points management: In order to attract and retain customers, retail companies often launch membership systems and provide points redemption and other preferential activities. Automatic code scanning equipment can be used for member identification and points management. When customers check out, by scanning the QR code on their membership card or mobile phone, the automatic code scanning device can quickly identify the member's identity and automatically calculate points and discount amounts. This streamlines the checkout process and increases customer satisfaction.

Product traceability and anti-counterfeiting: In order to ensure the quality and safety of goods, many retail companies have begun to adopt product traceability and anti-counterfeiting technologies. Automatic code scanning equipment can be used to scan the traceability code or anti-counterfeiting code on the product to verify the authenticity and source of the product. Through the QR code scanning device, consumers can check the production date, production place, raw material source and other information of the product to ensure that the purchased product is authentic and safe.

Intelligent recommendation system: With the development of big data and artificial intelligence technology, intelligent recommendation system has become an important application in the retail industry. Automatic code scanning equipment can be combined with intelligent recommendation systems to recommend relevant products or promotions to customers by analyzing their shopping history and preferences. 

When customers browse products in the store, they can obtain detailed information about the products through QR code scanning devices, and combine them with the recommendation results of the intelligent recommendation system to show customers products they may be interested in.
