GS1 UK approves all Axicon barcode verifiers – November 2021
Axicon has four different ranges of barcode verifiers, and all four are now approved by GS1 UK.
The 15000 range includes the 15200 and 15500 verifiers which are designed for the verification of 2D barcodes such as GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 QR Code, as well as linear barcodes..
The 6000, 6500, and 7000 ranges are all designed for linear barcodes such as EAN-13, ITF-14, and GS1-128. The 6000 range is specified for the verification of retail point of sale barcodes, the 6500 range for point of sale and smaller outer case barcodes, and the 7000 is intended for larger ITF-14 and GS1-128 symbols.
Axicon Auto ID is an approved solution partner with GS1 UK, and continues to work with GS1 and other international standards bodies to support the use of standards throughout all supply chains.
“We are pleased to have all our verifiers approved by GS1 UK as this provides extra reassurance that we are meeting customers’ requirements for barcode verification,” explained Martin Morrison, managing director of Axicon. “Our technical and production staff work continually to improve how our verifiers function, so to have that acknowledged by GS1 UK is very rewarding.”
