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.
