If your business produces barcodes, it's important to make sure the barcodes can be read correctly. To solve any barcode related problem, barcode testing is essential. This is the only solution to ensure your barcodes will be read properly and not cause any problems.
If the barcode is unreadable, what happens? First, people using barcodes, such as employees in a warehouse or at a cash register, will have to enter information manually instead of scanning the information with the code, which will take a long time and lead to errors. mistakes made by humans.
And what's worse, big retailers can refuse to accept your products and even impose penalties on your business. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that your barcodes work properly and can be read correctly.
Barcode Test Process
To determine the right bar code verifier, it is important to understand what symbol is being checked such as QR code or UPC. Understand what standards need to be followed, typically GS1 standard or ISO such as ISO 15416.
To test a barcode, you need to use barcode verifiers. Software alone is not enough to do the job. The reason is that everyday devices such as computers and smartphones do not have the advanced optical technology and calibration measurements required to classify barcodes correctly.
Only specialized barcode verifiers are capable of utilizing optimal optical technology and providing highly accurate results. This ensures your barcodes are effectively authenticated.
To create an effective barcode inspection system, it should be established as an integral part of your standard operating procedures. This requires you to verify barcodes on an ongoing and regular basis, and to have a plan in place to troubleshoot if the barcode fails.
When an error occurs, the system should be able to diagnose the cause of the error and get the printing process on track. This ensures that barcodes are printed accurately and reliably, helping to avoid barcode-related problems during business operations. A reliable barcode inspection system will improve the quality and performance of your business.
The time to check barcodes is at the printer, and even before that during “pre-pressing” because it is not possible to fix integration problems at the printer before in production. For example, consumer packaging is often printed on plastic film at very high speeds. Verification takes place where the packaging is printed, rather than where the product is packaged.
You need to determine if online or random sampling is best for you. Most barcode testing is done on a sampling basis, where the codes are checked periodically in predetermined steps. For example, consumer packaging can be inspected every 20 minutes or up to 90 minutes.
When starting out, it's important to understand that testing is an integral, ongoing part of the work process. This is very important when checking barcodes. By continuously performing verification and process control, your barcodes will be printed and scanned correctly. This ensures the reliability and performance of the barcode during operation.
