What is the
GS1 Sunrise 2027?
EAN/UPC barcodes, or
one-dimensional (1D) barcodes,
have provided price lookup
capabilities for decades.
However, it no longer meets
today's growing demands for
greater product information
transparency, traceability and
certification.
To do this, global supply chains
are turning to two-dimensional
(2D) barcodes that can carry
more information.
GS1 organization has set a date
for the transition to acceptance
of 2D barcodes at the point of
sale (POS) or point of care (POC)
— called Sunrise 2027.
The GS1 Sunrise 2027 initiative
is a significant move by the
global supply chain to adopt
two-dimensional (2D) barcodes at
point-of-sale (POS) or
point-of-care (POC) by the year
2027.
Whether you are a brand owner,
regulator, distributor, retailer
or consumer, we need more of the
right product data in the right
place.
Standard barcodes such as EAN/UPC
contain only basic product
identification, while
stakeholders and consumers
demand more.
Sunrise 2027 is a major shift in
the global supply chain, marking
the transition from
one-dimensional barcodes (such
as EAN/UPC) to two-dimensional
barcodes that can carry more
information, especially QR
codes.
This change is designed to meet
the growing demand for product
information transparency,
traceability and identity
verification.
Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes
create endless possibilities.
They have more data at their
fingertips and provide consumers
and key stakeholders with more
of the information they need
when they need it.
2D barcodes allow for a single
standardized way to meet supply
chain needs and changing
consumer demands. The
information carried by 2D
barcodes can also help achieve:
GS1
Digital Link "web-enables" barcodes by providing a simple, standards-based
structure for encoded data in any 2D line-of-sight data carrier.
Given that GS1 Digital Link is a standards-based structure, it allows the use of
simple rules so apps, websites, and POS scanners can enable connections,
shopping experiences, interesting product content, and more.
Digital Link helps make it possible to improve safety and efficiency within your
operations. It makes it possible for you to:
1.
Flag recalled, expired, or counterfeit products in the warehouse and at the
point of sale.
2. Automatically discount products nearing or past their expiration date.
3. Conduct more effective returns management and deliver better consumer
experience.
4. Improve business-to-business processes for data sharing.
How
GS1 Digital Link works
Consumers scan a single barcode with their smartphones. Your employees scan the
same code in your warehouse or at the point of sale.
In
both cases, the web-enabled barcode directs the user to an intelligent product
identity in the cloud.
Based on that intelligent product identity, your employee or consumer is
directed to a variety of digital content and services to enhance safety and
experience.
GS1
Digital Link can significantly enhance safety and efficiency in various
operations.
For
example, a GS1 Digital Link URI might look like this:
