Automated identification and data capture

Automated identification and data capture means that a special machine helps us to find out what different things are and get information about them. The machine can read special codes on things like food, clothes, or items at the store. These codes are like pictures made up of lines and dots that the machine can understand. When the machine reads the code, it tells us things like what the thing is, how much it costs, and even where it came from. This helps people who work at the store to keep track of all the things they have and make sure they are selling them for the right price.
