Warehouse Advice and Warehouse Optimization: Faster, More Accurate, Better: Efficient Warehouse Picking Thanks to Matrix Code: A Revolutionary Technology in Use, Xpert.Digital – Konrad Wolfenstein, Press Release

► Real-time transparency in the warehouse: integrating 2D matrix codes into warehouse management

The new 2D matrix code will undoubtedly revolutionize warehouse picking by greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of order processing.

► Data collection is easier and faster

The 2D matrix code enables faster and more accurate data collection compared to traditional barcodes or QR codes. Thanks to the denser information coding, more data points can be stored in a single code, which greatly reduces the acquisition time. This allows warehouse workers to process orders faster and reduce data entry bottlenecks.

► Advanced data storage

Two-dimensional matrix codes provide the ability to store a large amount of information in a small area. In addition to traditional order details such as item number, quantity, and shipping address, additional information such as serial numbers, country of origin, expiration dates, and more can be accommodated in a single code. This enables better traceability and quality control in the warehouse.

► Low error rate

With its high data density and accurate registration, the 2D matrix code reduces human input errors and misunderstandings. Warehouse workers no longer have to manually enter long blocks of numbers, but can scan data directly from the code. This greatly reduces the risk of errors, resulting in increased accuracy and reduced returns and complaints.

► Save space on the packaging

The compact nature of 2D matrix code allows companies to fit more information into smaller packaging areas. This allows labels and labels to be designed smaller, which in turn saves costs and resources. In addition, the symbol enables improved labeling as it is easy to read even on uneven surfaces.

► Better integration with warehouse management systems

Modern 2D code readers and scanners can be seamlessly integrated into warehouse management systems. This enables real-time tracking of orders, stock levels, and orders. Warehouse managers can view the current status of products and shipments at any time, improving warehouse visibility and simplified inventory management.

► Support for Augmented Reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT)

The use of 2D matrix codes opens up new possibilities for innovative technologies such as augmented reality and the Internet of Things. Augmented reality-assisted picking systems can show warehouse staff the exact location and path to ordered items using data glasses or mobile devices. IoT sensors can monitor stock levels in real time and automatically trigger reorders when certain thresholds are reached.

► More security and protection against counterfeiting

2D matrix codes can be equipped with special security features that protect them from forgery and tampering. This is especially important for companies that store and ship high-value or sensitive products. These security tokens can, for example, contain encrypted information that can only be decrypted with private version keys.
