Iso Iec 15434 Pdf

[Melissa Russian]

ISO/IEC 15434 is a specification and syntax for automatic identification and data capture techniques commonly used in 2D barcodes such as Data Matrix. This FAQ focuses on formats of the ISO/IEC 15434 specification that are commonly used with IDAutomation products. Implementation of the ISO/IEC 15434 specification may require additional data formatting. Always refer to the ISO/IEC 15434 specification before implementation in a production environment.

The ISO/IEC 15434 barcode specification defines a header, group separator, and trailer to use when encoding data in a barcode for specific purposes. The , , and are non-printable ASCII Functions, which can be identified when scanned with the free Barcode Data Decoder Verifier App or Scanner ASCII String Decoder. Refer to the links provided in the chart below for implementation examples.

IDAutomation suggests verification of symbol encoding to ensure compliance. IDAutomation recommends using the Barcode Decoder Verification App because it reveals the hidden RS, GS, and EOT ASCII characters.

ISO/IEC 15434:2006 defines the manner in which data is transferred to high-capacity automatic data capture (ADC) media from a supplier's information system and the manner in which data is transferred to the recipient's information system. It does not define the internal data storage format for specific high-capacity ADC media, nor does it specify the application of data structures provided by a specific data syntax format. The application of the data structure is specified by industry conventions.

Users of ADC technologies benefit by being able to receive data in a standard form and by being able to provide data in a standard form. Static ADC technologies such as bar code symbologies, magnetic stripe, optical character recognition, surface acoustical wave (SAW) and Weigand effect typically encode a single field of data. Most applications of these technologies involve the encoding of a single field of data by the supplier of the medium and the subsequent decoding of the data field by the recipient. Encoding single fields of data permits the supplier to perform the encodation from a single field within the supplier's information system. Decoding single fields of data permits the recipient to input this data into a single field in the recipient's information system, in lieu of key entry.

High-capacity ADC technologies, such as two-dimensional symbols, RFID transponders, contact memories and smart cards, encode multiple fields of data. These multiple fields are usually parsed by the recipient's information system and then mapped to specific fields of data in the recipient's information system. ISO/IEC 15434:2006 defines the syntax for high-capacity ADC media, so as to enable ADC users to utilize a single mapping utility, regardless of which high-capacity ADC medium is employed.

ISO/IEC 15434:2006 specifies a transfer structure, syntax, and coding of messages and data formats when using high-capacity ADC media between trading partners (specifically between suppliers and recipients) and, where applicable, in support of carrier applications, such as bills of lading and carrier sortation and tracking.

I am trying to implement reading DataMatrix 2D barcodes into SAP ME. We have our barcodes setup using the ISO/IEC 15434 standard, and the SAP ME parser is setup to accept them. We are running the ME client on Win7 machines with IE 9. This may seem like a simple process, but the wall I am running into is actually getting the control characters from the scanner into the ME client.

I can scan the barcode into a text editor, then copy/paste into the ME Barcode field. This works fine, and the ME parser has no problems with it. So I know the issue is not the barcode format or data.

The scanner is just a Motorola USB 2D barcode scanner, and can be setup to output in several different ways. Keyboard emulation is done by either sending Control-x for for ASCII characters below 33, or sending all characters as ALT-0xxx. There is of course a COM port emulation as well. When using keyboard emulation, the special characters in the barcode(, , ) cannot be "typed" directly into IE, and are therefor not entered into the ME Barcode field. And I can find no information on how to read into this field from the COM port.

I forgot about this post until I started seeing emails. The short answer is no, that was our only solution. Actually, after months of feasibility testing, our company cancelled our SAP ME project, so we no longer face this issue.

Thanks, but that was not the problem. ISO/IEC 1534 barcodes have and characters embedded in the data, not just at the beginning or the end. These separaters tell the application what part of the data is coming next, like serial number, part number, date, etc. This entire string of data is to be entered into a single field, not tabbed into separate fields. Beleive me when I say we looked over every inch of that manual and tried nearly every different setup option for the scanner to no avail.

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, those control codes are what allows the system to determine how to process the scanned barcode. For Assembly, it uses those control codes to determine the type of barcode parsing to be performed and then extracts the individual data values for each type of barcode and populates the associated fields accordingly.

I hope this is helpful. Most barcode scanner vendors have a means of adding a suffix (or post-amble) to the scanned barcode built-in to their devices. If the scanner does not have a display (wedge between the keyboard/USB/COM Port), it typically means you'll scan a barcode to enter the setup mode, then a suffix entry scan, then add the characters for the suffix (tab/ENTER) and then a save barcode setup. Upon any scan, it would then emulate the associated character being typed. This is usually in the manual for the barcode scanner, but I've honestly not worked with stand-alone/wedge barcode scanners/RS-232 scanners in several years. But should still work like this.

For devices such as the Janam XT series (Android tablet), you would go to "BCR Settings", "Suffix", and enter "\t" (for a tab character). This way, when the scan is completed, the tab character would initiate the parse hook in ME which would then translate the received text to their associated fields. This is how it works for mobile assembly.

The only thing we have come up with so far is to write our own application to handle the data in a very special way. We put the scanner into COM port emulation, and then have our application read the input from the COM port. It then takes the raw text from the barcode and puts it in the clipboard. Then it just sends a ctrl-v + . It works, but doesn't feel right. We have some time yet before we go to production, so I am hoping to find something better, if it exists.

Konstantin, I have read through all the documents I could find, and many other eyes have as well. But there still seems to be a step missing. The documents say 1. Connect the scanner, 2. Install the scanner software, and that is it. But what then? It seems as though we are looking for 3. And then a miracle occurs.

We have some people that are biased towards the software and some that are biased towards the hardware. One coworker spent an entire afternoon with Motorola with no results. We know the software is setup correctly as far as parsing the data because copy/paste the data works. And barcode scanners all function the same; they will either emulate a keyboard or send data via a COM port.

When I copy and paste the data from a ISO15434-Data Matric code into the Barcodefield from the Floor Stock Receipt it works fine. But when I uses the scanner, the InternetExplorer uses the code like a shortcut.

The labels are required to contain a Data Matrix 2D barcode following ISO/IEC 15434 syntax. We are generating the label on a web screen where the Data Matrix 2D barcode is a dynamically generated image on the generated label. The users (suppliers) will then use their default browser print functionality to print the labels to whatever printer(s) they have installed on their PC.

We were hoping that the ZXing Services Plugin could generate the Data Matrix 2D barcode that we needed. However, ZXing Services only has the following encoding options: UTF8, ISO88591, and Shift_JIS. We have tried all of these encoding options but cannot get the non-printable characters in the generated Data Matrix to be encoded properly.

Automatic identification technology is continually evolving. As technological advances prove applicable to the health care industry, they will be incorporated into revisions of this standard, wherever possible. However, every attempt will be made to maintain the existing data structures, thereby allowing new technology to be introduced into systems in a non-disruptive manner. HIBCC recognizes that this standard is a technology driven solution to improvement of health care delivery. As new technology becomes widely available, the standard will be modified to incorporate the advantages of the new technologies. References to other and symbol formats have been updated to reflect current usage.

This document describes the voluntary HIBC Syntax Standard which defines ASCII character combinations beginning with the ???+??? character as defined in ANSI MH10.8.2, referenced in ISO/IEC 15418 and used in ISO/IEC 15434. Users of HIBCC data formats are encouraged to consider aligning themselves with the data formats defined in 15434 provide global transparency in their facilities and supply chains. Note: this standard allows full use of the 15434 data structures which is in addition to the 25S and 25P examples used in the SLS.
