Reading Speed and Accuracy
How Quickly and Accurately Each Code Can Be Read
· Data Matrix: Designed for high-speed reading with exceptional accuracy, even when printed on small or curved surfaces. Its structure allows for quick scanning, making it ideal for industrial automation and manufacturing processes.
· QR Code: Known for its fast readability, QR codes can be scanned quickly from various angles and distances. This makes them user-friendly and widely adopted for consumer applications, such as mobile payments and interactive marketing.
Industry Standards and Compliance
GS1 DataMatrix, DMC Code, and Industry-Specific Standards
· Data Matrix: Often used in industries with strict regulatory standards. The GS1 DataMatrix is a specific implementation used globally in supply chain management, healthcare, and aerospace industries to ensure compliance with international standards.
· QR Code: While not as prevalent in heavily regulated industries as Data Matrix, QR codes are standardized by ISO/IEC 18004. They are extensively used in retail, marketing, and payment systems due to their ease of use and broad recognition.
