How it works

Example of GS1 barcode

Description

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).  

• See https://www.gs1-128.info/application-identifiers/

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.
  • See Barcode converter - Regular Expressions
