Consistently readable barcodes are critical to the success of your supply chain. Poor quality barcodes on your product or shipping labels inevitably lead to increased costs, either in terms of productivity losses when shipments are obstructed from flowing through the supply chain, or in the more direct form of customer fines, resulting from barcodes not being read by the recipient’s systems.

If a barcode fails to scan, Operators are forced to manually enter the human readable barcode data. This can take up to 5 times longer to key the data than it does to scan a barcode. Productivity is reduced and naturally the manual data entry method introduces the opportunity for data capture errors.

Over the years, international ISO standards have been developed to set the benchmark for barcode quality and readability. Barcode verification is used to measure and grade the quality of the final printed barcode. The analysis is carried out to the international standard ISO/IEC 15426 and can be used to diagnose any problems with the printed quality of your labels. The ISO standards ensure barcodes can be read consistently at all stages throughout the supply chain, resulting in improved efficiency and productivity.

BEC’s team of GS1 certified barcode specialists have the skills, knowledge and experience to guide you to the appropriate barcode solution for your business. From the physical production of barcodes, to harnessing the power of GS1 standards, streamlining logistics processes or enhancing product traceability, BEC has the knowledge to help steer your business towards leveraging the full benefits of barcodes and GS1 standards.
