Using Barcodes with Assets

Jennifer Sneider Updated by Jennifer Sneider

AssetHub supports two formats of traditional linear barcodes: Code 128 and ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5). These barcodes represent data through varying widths of bars and the spacing between them.

  • Code 128 is an alphanumeric or numeric-only format. It is commonly used in the supply chain to capture container and pallet level information. Each symbol in the barcode is composed of three bars and three spaces of varying widths.
  • ITF (2of5) is a numeric-only format. The code is made up of pairs of numbers. A pair of digits is encoded into 5 bars/lines of varying widths. In the example below each pair of digits is color-coded to more clearly show the code and value for each digit.
