Extract values from encoded into different steps |
Encoded barcodes are supported out-of-the-box and provide great benefits in speeding up and simplifying registrations
Encoded barcode suppport
- Warehouse EAN and UPC barcodes are both "GS1" compliant and is supported
- Learn more about barcodes here
GS1 is the recommended barcode
We highly recommend using the common GS1-128 (DataMatrix), as it can hold a number of different informations.
- can contain Lot number, Serial number, Expiration Date etc.
- can be used for login
Example of GS1-128 barcode
GS1-128 holds different kinds of information by assigning Application Identifiers (AI's).
The example contains four values.
- Item no. (AI 01)
- Expiration Date. (AI 17)
- Lot no. (AI 10)
- Quantity (AI 30)
Default AI support
Mobile WMS will accepts these AI's as standard.
This can be modfied.
| Entity | AI (Application Identifiers) |
|---|---|
| Item | 01, 02 and 91 |
| Bin | 00 |
| Lot | 10 |
| Serial | 21 |
| Expiration Date | 12, 15 and 17 |
| Quantity | 30, 37 and 310 |
| Tote | 98 |
How values from encoded barcodes are automatically transferred to input fields
Handling non-standard barcodes
Mobile WMS can to some extent, be configured to read a custom barcode format, by converting it into GS1.
- Each identifiable "block" is converted to an GS1 AI's.
