Code Reading & Traceability
Forming the foundation for automated product traceability, barcodes are machine readable data representations of the product to which they are attached.
Remtec’s code reading options coupled with our traceability software can be integrated with facility data monitoring systems to establish a solid traceability program for your organization.
Types of Code Reading & Traceability
There are two basic categories of barcodes: 1D (one-dimensional) and 2D (two-dimensional). The primary difference between 1D and 2D barcode scanning lies in the design and amount of data that can be stored. Automated code reading can encompass many types of 1D and 2D codes:
- UPC-A
- Code 39
- Code 128
- Interleaved 2 of 5
- Data Matrix
- QR
- MaxiCode
- And more
Not only can our systems read well marked preprinted labels, but they can also read direct part marks and codes that have limited contrast, confusing backgrounds, and limited damage. Optical Character Recognition (or OCR) and human readable character verification can also be a useful tool to manufacturers.
