GS1-Datamatrix for pharma or food.

Carries batch and expiry alongside EAN, POS needs a GS1 parser.

Try this first

  1. 1First check if the POS can split GS1 Application Identifiers
  2. 2Without a parser, only the EAN is captured, batch and date are lost
  3. 32D imager required, a 1D laser cannot read this
  4. 4Test recall workflow per batch
  5. 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.
