This barcode shows the system find not only the usual information but also information about the product number, sheet number, description of the last sheet in the produxt and the orientation of the product. With all this information the system can use specific ASIR scanners to control the correct order of the product and thus guarantee the correct product layout.

The comprehensive features of this programm allow you to adjust these marks to your very own production environment and not only make the production process safer but also to simplify it even more.
