This flexibility allows accurate data capture in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and field-based operations.

GS1 Barcode Standard

The GS1-128 barcode is a global application standard based on the Code 128 format, developed by GS1, the international standards authority for barcodes. It is a one-dimensional barcode capable of encoding both letters and numbers, making it well suited for complex data structures. GS1-128 is widely used in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics environments.

A GS1-128 barcode can contain a Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) for identifying logistic units, as well as detailed item information such as company identifiers, product codes, lot or batch numbers, serial numbers, expiry dates, quantities, weights, and more. Multiple data elements can be combined into a single barcode, with the structure and order of the data governed by GS1 specifications.
