Reader software brings value to Data Matrix
Data Matrix is a compact, 2-D symbology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to earlier-generation barcodes. The main benefits of Data Matrix compared to the earlier linear symbologies include higher information density, scalability, omnidirectionality, and stronger error-correction capability. Data Matrix is becoming the 2-D barcode of choice, especially where space is at a premium, such as on semiconductor wafers and circuit boards.
