In today's fast-paced, digitally driven world, product traceability and information transparency play a critical role in ensuring supply chain efficiency, product safety, and meeting customer demands. It is crucial to maintain interoperability, data consistency and accuracy across the supply chain, facilitating smoother operations, compliance and better decision-making. QR is a game-changer in this space and especially the GS1 Digital Link standard is about to revolutionize product traceability by creating a digital product twin of all product information and making it easily accessible and available globally under one standard. That's where CoLOS® Software comes in – empowering companies to quickly and securely design, print and manage compliant GS1 Digital Link barcodes with 2D codes and labels, unlocking a wealth of benefits for brands and retailers.
CoLOS® Software: Your data management tool for designing, deploying and managing GS1 Digital Link compliant 2D codes
From message design management to verification and inspection, pallet tracking, and beyond, our Packaging Intelligence solutions powered by
CoLOS®> seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technologies and proven expertise to maximize efficiency, drive business growth, and foster a smarter, more agile enterprise through a holistic approach and tailored integration strategy. CoLOS® is ready to help businesses harness the benefits of 2D codes while ensuring compliance with
GS1 Barcode standards with the standard software features like:
Application Identifier Support
GS1 canonically encodes multiple data elements into a single 2D barcode.
CoLOS® software supports all Application Identifiers as prescribed by GS1 standards to enable any application. It checks for the missing App ID that needs to be associated with the present App ID and warns the designer while designing the code/label that needs to be GS1 compliant.
Compliance Checks
CoLOS® software allows you to create 2D Barcodes that are fully compliant with GS1 Digital Link standards. It verifies the Character length/type for variables and checks correctness of the GS1 application identifiers while designing codes and labels using pre-configured GS1 standards framework. You’d be notified for quick corrective actions within the software, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
Data Management
CoLOS® Software supports all link types to redirect users to personalized product information page, warranty registration page, a promotional video, recipe, and more using the same URL. You can encode the link type to GS1 Digital Link by either choosing the appropriate link type from the various options on the platform, or from the ERP database to encode the digital link at a later stage. CoLOS® IT/OT integration allows bi-directional communication and interoperability with other systems to ensure seamless data flow within the production ecosystem.
Verification
Last but not least,
CoLOS® software together with a camera also verifies the correctness and accuracy of the data in the code by integrating with the IT, ERP & MES systems enabling data accuracy and eliminating printing errors. Check and verify 1D/2D safety distance, X-dim and GTIN compatibility with CoLOS(R).
By leveraging CoLOS® software, businesses can ensure seamless compliance with the
GS1 Digital Link standards, enhancing their supply chain operational efficiency and data availability. This, in turn, can improve product authenticity and unlock innovative marketing and branding opportunities.
As the industry continues to evolve, CoLOS® Software is poised to help businesses navigate the challenges of GS1 compliance. With our software, you can unlock the full potential of GS1 Digital Link and 2D barcodes, transforming your supply chain operations with ease and staying ahead of the competition.
