Blueprint for Barcodes
Some modules which could make use of this:
- Logistics: Scan in goods received & goods shipped for automatic update of inventory; Identify details of a stock item
- Human Remains Management: Scan in body tags as they are transported to update central DB; Pull up details of the body parts on the system
- ...
Barcodes can be generated by using a barcode font to display the number: http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/
1 option is to use Semacode which provides a mobile phone camera-readable code which can link to a URL open able in the browser:

- http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/ffa711b61358a94b
ReportLab has a Barcode extension: http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/extensions/
Elaphe uses PIL to write Barcodes: http://code.google.com/p/elaphe/
Android uses ZXing for reading barcodes: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/
- ports available for Java & iPhone
Looking to the near future, RFID should also be supported: http://rfidiot.org/
