GS1 Application Identifiers Explained

This audio focuses on the GS1 standards and explains the Application Identifier - also referred to as AI. It appears after the Function Code 1 (FNC1) in barcode symbols such as GS1-128, DataBar Expanded, GS1-DataMatrix, and GS1-QRCode to encode certain types of information primarily for POS and the supply chain. Multiple AIs may be encoded in a single symbol to allow, for example, serial numbers, sell-by dates, and other information to be automatically evaluated in the supply chain and at the point of sale.
