barcoded
Ready for scanning
Barcoded describes something that has been labeled or marked with a barcode—the pattern of parallel lines or squares that encodes data readable by optical scanners.
Products in retail settings are barcoded for inventory tracking and checkout.
The term extends to any systematic tagging for identification: Every sample in the lab is barcoded for chain-of-custody purposes.
In informal use, barcoded can suggest being reduced to a number or tracked like merchandise.
