Mobile WMS supports reading all standard barcodes.
However, we highly recommend using so-called "information-bearing" or "encoded" barcodes like GS1 "Data Matrix".
- GS1-128 can contain Lot number / batch number, serial number, weight, etc. why it’s often used for items with tracking.
- GS1-128 code is often used to log in to Mobile WMS solution, as this type of barcode can contain username, password and domain.

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 a so called AI or "Application Identifier" This barcode for example contains two Application Identifiers (AI's).
