GS1-Datamatrix for pharma or food.
Carries batch and expiry alongside EAN, POS needs a GS1 parser.
Try this first
- 1First check if the POS can split GS1 Application Identifiers
- 2Without a parser, only the EAN is captured, batch and date are lost
- 32D imager required, a 1D laser cannot read this
- 4Test recall workflow per batch
- 5FIFO on expiry date, POS must retain that field
When to bring us in
No GS1 parser in your POS? Either buy the module or the vendor is not pharma/food-grade.
