Human and machine readable 1D and 2D codes
Changing legal requirements and increased demand by consumers and producers to provide more information on an individual product level, drive an increasing demand for the implementation of track & trace solutions in production and packaging lines in the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, Tobacco, Cosmetics, Food and Beverage industry.
This paper provides an introduction and overview on serialised machine readable code applications as an information source for technical, IT and engineering teams preparing to start with traceability/serialisation implementation solutions in packaging. On the following pages, the key different code formats and relevant performance related aspects are evaluated and details and comparisons are provided.
