The barcode was introduced in the early 1970s, with the first successful implementation occurring on June 26, 1974, when a pack of Wrigley's gum was scanned at a supermarket in Troy, Ohio. The technology was developed by Norman Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver in the late 1940s, but it took several years for it to be adopted commercially. The Universal Product Code (UPC) became the standard barcode format, revolutionizing inventory management and retail.
