“Sectors like healthcare, where traceability and safety are paramount, have been pioneering the use of GS1 DataMatrix for nearly 20 years”
- In Healthcare, the GS1 DataMatrix, has been used for years, driving efficiencies for healthcare businesses and making patients safer.
- Put simply, scanning these barcodes in hospitals helps preventing medical errors and saves so much time to medical professionals, in a context where every minute really matters.
- Over 70 countries around the world have legislation mandating or recommending the use of the GS1 DataMatrix.
We also see use of next generation barcodes in the construction sector for safety and service history, and the same in the rail sector in some countries. Other industry sectors are exploring the use of next generation barcodes, such as agriculture and online marketplaces.
