Course details
For the last four years retailers around the globe have been working to adapt their scanning systems to be able to scan GS1 DataBar, a next-generation bar code, by 2010. The decision to introduce GS1 DataBar followed a business case review by a global industry task force which included retailers, fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and trade associations. After feedback from retailers around the world GS1 has extended the deadline by which retailers must be able to scan GS1 DataBar to 2014.
