2D-Code / Data Matrix™



The perfect supplement to our marking systems...

Directly applied 2D codes are read out with the help of handheld scanners as well as via fixed camera systems.

Not only lasered but also needle-embossed and electrolytically generated codes are securely recognised, even in the most difficult industrial environments.

With the two-dimensional Data Matrix™ code (2D code) the information density per surface can be considerably increased in comparison to one-dimensional barcodes (1D code).

With the 2D code, the information is encoded as a pattern of points in a square or rectangular area. The code contains redundant (multiply existing) data, so that, for example, the Reed-Solomon error correction (ECC 200) can be used to automatically correct up to 25 % of the errors in the individual elements (e.g. if parts of the code overlap or were destroyed).
