How you turn GS1 identifiers into information that can be scanned and processed automatically.
GS1 standards for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) enable the fast and accurate identification of products, locations, assets and logistics units, without manual data entry.
These standards turn GS1 identifiers into carriers that can be scanned and processed automatically by equipment and IT systems.
In the GS1 ecosystem, information follows a simple flow, from identification and capture, to sharing.
Products, locations and assets receive unique GS1 identifiers.
Identifiers are represented in barcodes, 2D symbols or RFID and are read automatically.
Data is distributed between partners, systems and applications through common, globally recognized standards.
Fewer errors generated by manual processes.
Automatic scanning speeds up receiving, inventory and delivery.
Products and logistics units can be tracked throughout the supply chain.
Retail, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and digital commerce use AIDC standards for rapid access to information.
