The Data Matrix™ code is a unique 2-D Machine-Readable symbol capable of storing a large amount of information within almost any physical size. Its built-in error correction makes it perfectly adapted for harsh industrial environments:
EASY TO READ:
- No orientation restriction -> Read at 360°
- Low contrast readability -> Only 20% contrast is required
HIGH-DENSITY DATA STORAGE:
- Write (2x) the data double in 1/10 the space of linear bar codes perfect for small components
- Encodes up to 2 335 alphanumeric or 3 116 numeric characters
- Scaleable from 1/16" square to 24" square in size (rectangular or square in shape)
ACCURACY:
- Human error is eliminated as the code is machine readable
ROBUST:
- Built-in error correction. ECC 200 allows decoding even when the code is damaged -> reliable traceability for products in the harshest environments and on the most challenging surfaces .
