RFID and barcode data capture interoperability

The track-and-trace solution you select should be capable of easily handling item identification and serialization data capture from both RFID and barcode data carriers.

Even if you don’t plan to make use of one or the other today, you may find that certain jurisdictions mandate one or the other. That means even though you may be standardizing on 2D barcodes for your item-level serialization, in certain markets you might need to apply linear barcodes or RFID tags at the item level.

There is a valuable resource available for anyone who needs to make use of both GS1 RFID and GS1 barcodes—or even just one or the other—on any product or shipping container and in any supply chain.  It is called “RFID Barcode Interoperability, GS1 Guideline” and can be downloaded from GS1.

This is a guidance document, which means that it isn’t a standard itself but draws contents from GS1 standards documents to better explain the subject.  In this particular case, it draws primarily from the GS1 General Specifications  and the Tag Data Standard.
