For decades, the EAN/UPC barcode—a one-dimensional (1D) barcode—has been the cornerstone of price lookup functionality. However, as global commerce evolves, the limitations of 1D barcodes in meeting demands for enhanced transparency, traceability, and authentication have become apparent. To address these challenges, the supply chain is shifting to two-dimensional (2D) barcodes,...

Integrating barcode scanning in apps can be done via custom code, open-source libraries, or commercial-grade SDKs. However, opting for a commercial-grade barcode reading SDK is optimal. These SDKs offer superior performance, accuracy, and support. They cover a variety of barcode types, easy integration, and provide platform compatibility. Regular updates and...

With the rapid advancement of technology, it is evident that the proliferation of GS1-128 barcodes is revolutionizing the barcode utilization landscape. GS1-128 barcodes are progressively replacing conventional 1-dimensional barcodes because of their greater storage capacity, interoperability with modern identifying technologies, and global standardization. Overview of 1-Dimensional Barcodes: Limitations and Challenges...
