GS1 Ready Newland Devices

Consumer behavior has changed. The demand for more information about the products they use and consume has increased. To supply this transparency, retailers will be required to have all point-of-sale (POS) systems capable of reading and processing 2D barcodes in accordance with GS1 standards by the end of 2027.

Many of our devices are already prepared for the change and are GS1 Ready. This makes them suitable for a wide range of retail applications without requiring changes to the hardware or software.

Check the table below to see the readiness of Newland AIDC EMEA devices.

Mode 1: After capturing the GTIN from either a linear or 2D barcode, regardless of whether the package contains multiple GS1-compliant retail barcodes, the scanner can quickly process and transmit the GTIN with a single audible signal or a visual indicator. It then waits for the next product scans.

Mode 2: The system prioritizes decoding GS1-compliant 2D barcodes, providing a single beep or visual signal upon a successful scan. It outputs the GTIN and any additional details (like lot/batch number or expiry date) in GS1 element string syntax. If no GS1 barcode is found, it will deliver data from the linear barcode instead.

Mode 3: Can the scanner identify, decode, and transmit all GS1-compliant retail barcodes (linear and 2D) on a product? Additionally, can it generate an 8-digit label identification to link multiple barcodes to the same trade item? Upon capturing the first GTIN, the scanner should provide an audible signal, a visual indication, and produce the label identification in a common format following the Plain and GS1 element string syntax.
