Whether you are using 1D barcodes such as GS1-128 or 2D symbols such as Data Matrix codes for UDI compliance marking, UDI barcode verification is essential for assuring barcode quality. Here are [...]
We run across some very interesting barcodes and probably every imaginable mistake, that leave you wondering, “How did they do that?” And some of the mistakes we encounter are so subtle, we [...]
It can be difficult and confusing to relate the ISO parameters on the verification report to what is actually happening in a barcode. Here we will attempt to connect those dots in a way that [...]
Here we go again with wild and crazy barcodes. The barcode risk management business can seem oppressively serious, but that is simply not true: it can be downright fun! We are inviting you to [...]
After Modulation, discussed previously, Fixed Pattern Damage (FPD) is likely the next most prevalent problem with 2D barcodes. The “fixed pattern” referenced are the omnipresent locator targets [...]
In a previous article, we took a bird’s eye look at the ISO 15415 report, and defined the pass/fail and graded parameters that are the basis for the final symbol grade. Understanding the [...]
A chargeback is a fee or penalty imposed by a retailer for poorly performing barcodes on shipments received from vendors. Walmart is most often blamed (or credited) with inventing the chargeback, [...]
So much technology is involved with barcodes, from designing and printing to scanning and decoding. It is often overlooked that this is as much art as science. It can be difficult to understand [...]
