Some manufacturer will need to change their printing instrument in order to use this technology (in-line code printing with a drop-on-demand model) *possibility for user to read standard 2D code using their smartphone Description The gs1 data matrix is high density a two-dimensional barcode. It comes in the form of a matrix of juxtaposed dots or squares, including a very large amount of information: product code, batch number, expiry date, serial number Strengths Smallest symbol for a given quantity of information; Robust: Datamatrix can be read even with a high level of code damage (up to 60%); Cost competitive; Using international syntax EAN.UCC (GS1) 128; Limitations No ability to read at distance; Direct line of sight required; Difficult to modify code content; Cannot be read with a laser bar code scanner; Links:
