Data Matrix Codes

For all applications relating to fast production lines, difficult interfaces, a small marking area or safe codes, a 2D-Code is the perfect solution.

The Data Matrix Code is one of the most important representatives in the range of two-dimensional codes. It is already the standard coding of the future. This modern and machine readable marking, provides a high information density and an omnidirectional readability. The reconstruction of the data content by the Reed-Solomon error correction is even possible in cases where the code is destroyed by up to 25%.

Benefits of the Data Matrix Code:

  • High information density on small areas
  • Memory capacity from 1 to 2300 characters
  • High data security through to a code terminology, which means that the code can be read also when approx. 25 % of the code is destroyed.
  • Readable with low contrast
  • Reduction and increasing of the data content without changing the physical size of the code
  • Readable with every angle of vision
  • Registration of fast moving objects
  • Several marking processes are possible to mark the Data Matrix code, also printing is possible
