Achieve Tobacco Products Directive Compliance with OpalTec Track and Trace Solution
Why use DotCode?
DotCode’s flexibility and high error correction capabilities makes it appealing to industries that require security and durability from the barcodes they uses. For instance:
- Major manufacturers are adding it to products and packaging for track and trace and workflow management solutions;
- Major shipping and postal organizations have begun utilizing it on shipping labels as they can withstand ‘abuse’ during the shipping process and still be easily scanned;
- Major CPGs recognize it’s ability to support anti-theft and counterfeiting initiatives because it is difficult to duplicate.
How is DotCode used?
A dot code, generically, is a type of barcode that encodes data in an array of nominally disconnected dots at chosen sites within a regular grid of possible locations. DotCode is a dot code whose array is rectangular in shape, of height H (rows) and width W (columns), with just half of the possible dot locations made available for printing, like the dark squares on a checker-board.
