Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Because the text data is visually encoded into the physical squares of the barcode, no internet or database connection is required to read the information on the scanner. Test the complete task on a phone at the actual location instead of counting a successful decode as completion.

No. Our generator processes everything client-side in your local browser. Your confidential supply chain data never leaves your computer or gets logged in our system. Assign an owner to review the destination so long-lived signs and printed materials do not become stale.

Traditional 1D laser scanners (the red line scanners) cannot read QR codes. You must use a 2D imager scanner or a standard smartphone camera to read them. Give the placement one clear action, use a destination you control, and retain a readable alternative when access matters.

Do not choose it merely because phones can scan it. High-speed conveyors, very small parts, harsh direct marking, regulated data, or existing industrial readers may require Data Matrix, a linear barcode, RFID, or another standard. Validate the carrier against the complete operational environment and partner requirements.
