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.

Non-standard barcode formats

Mobile WMS can to some extent, be configured to read any custom barcode format, by converting it to GS1.

Each identifiable "block" is converted to an GS1 AI

Description

Excerpt

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


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.


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).
