ATI GS1 Pharma Barcode Decoder, is not just bar-code scanner, but it’s a decoder

ATI GS1 Pharma Bar code Decoder, is not just barcode scanner, but it’s a decoder app. We have tried to cover as many as GS1 AI’s (Application Identifiers) used in Pharmaceutical Industry. When you scan 1D or 2D barcode, it gives you output of value stored as string in barcode + FNC (Function 1 Symbol) / GS (Group Separator) in red color as well as decodes all AI’s giving your separate values with labels. You can also write comments on result screen, store scanned barcode history and share via other mobile apps. Currently our app supports GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 128 Symbology of GS1 barcoding standards.

Current version of our app can only decode bar codes, which are starting with AI (01), (02) or (00).

Thus making it very useful for QA, Packaging & Production Teams. It’s completely FREE app and without advertisement. We assure you to keep updating this app with latest regulatory requirements.

General Instructions:

For Scanning 1D / 2D barcode, click on the appropriate button on the home screen. 2D barcode can be scanned in any orientation while 1D barcode should be scanned in landscape mode only.
