2D barcodes / Data Matrix codes

Compact labeling for efficient processes

Schukat Data Matrix codes display fixed product, shipping, and process data on the label in a compact, machine-readable format. This allows relevant information to be captured with a single scan and processed digitally.

Compared to traditional one-dimensional barcodes, 2D barcodes can contain significantly more information in a small space. This structured labeling supports rapid product identification, reliable traceability, and efficient workflows in logistics, warehousing, and production.

What information is contained in the Data Matrix code?

Data Matrix codes contain predefined information used to uniquely identify the product.

Information	Description
HU Number	Internal identification number
Customer Material	Customer’s item number
Schukat Material	Schukat’s item number
Quantity	Quantity of the item in the respective unit
Manufacturer Material	Manufacturer’s item number
Manufacturer	Manufacturer code
Material Short Text	Short description of the item
Batch	Schukat’s batch number
Supplier Batch	Supplier’s batch number
Manufacture Date	Manufacture date of the item
RoHS Marking	Information on RoHS compliance
MSL	Moisture Sensitivity Level

Some of this information is also printed in plain text on the label. Additional information is contained exclusively in the Data Matrix code and can be read by scanning it.

Standardized and machine-readable

The barcode content has a structured format. Defined data identifiers uniquely assign each piece of information. This allows a system to recognize whether the data represents, for example, a handling unit (HU) number, an item number, a quantity, a batch number, or a manufacturing date.

The individual data fields are separated from one another by control characters. This results in barcode content that is clearly readable and can be processed systematically.

Structure of the barcode content:

[)>[RS]06[GS]3Z39782724[GS]PFEL-FD4598-400V-10A[GS]1POR1206M002. 7-1[GS]Q500[GS]K1245789Online238[GS]1VSHAR[GS]2K80823781[GS]4K20[GS]30T0000729379[GS]31T00789216 [GS]6D20180605[GS]30PR[GS]Z2[RS][EOT]
[GS] = Group Separator
[RS] = Record Separator
[EOT] = End of Message
[)>[RS]06 = Start of data structure per ISO 15434
