PRODUCT MARKING AND BARCODE IDENTIFICATION
B - Barcode
Barcode type:
The Data Matrix symbol is a 2 Dimensional symbology used to encode large amounts of text and data
securely and inexpensively. Up to about 2335 ASCII characters can be encoded in a Data Matrix
symbol. We recommend to limit this to maximum 800 characters, as the most 2D barcode readers
have problems to decode symbols which use a higher amount of data.
The cells of a Data Matrix code are made up of square modules that encode letters, numbers, text
and actual bytes of data, and encode just about anything including extended characters, unicode
characters and photos.
The encoding and decoding process of Data Matrix is very complex and several methods have been
used for error correction in the past. ECC200 is the newest and most standard version of data matrix
error correction. It supports advanced encoding and error checking with Reed Solomon error
correction algorithms. These algorithms allow the recognition of barcodes that are up to 60%
damaged.
