TYPE_MSI




MSI (Modified Plessey) barcode is a specific type of linear barcode symbology primarily used for encoding numeric data. It was originally developed by the Plessey Company and is commonly employed in applications where numeric-only data needs to be encoded and scanned quickly and reliably.

What is MSI Barcode?

MSI barcode:

  • Numeric Encoding: MSI barcodes can encode numeric digits (0-9) only. They do not support alphabetic characters or special symbols.

  • Checksum: Many MSI barcodes include a modulo-10 checksum digit for error detection. This helps ensure the accuracy of scanned data.

  • Applications: MSI barcodes are often used in inventory management, retail environments (for products and price labels), libraries (for tracking books and media), and other applications where numeric identification and tracking are required.

How to Use MSI Barcode:

  1. Generating MSI Barcodes:

    • Use a barcode generator software or an online barcode generator that supports MSI symbology.
    • Input the numeric data (e.g., product codes, inventory numbers) that you want to encode into the barcode.
    • Optionally, choose to include a checksum digit for data accuracy.
    • Generate the barcode image, which consists of a series of bars representing the encoded numeric digits.

  2. Printing:

    • Print the generated MSI barcode using a barcode printer onto labels, tags, packaging, or directly onto products.
    • Ensure that the barcode is printed clearly and at an appropriate size for reliable scanning.

  3. Scanning:

    • Use a barcode scanner equipped with MSI symbology support to scan the MSI barcode.
    • The scanner will decode the pattern of bars and read the numeric data encoded within the barcode.
    • Verify that your scanner is correctly configured to interpret MSI barcodes, including any checksum digit if included.

  4. Integration:

    • Integrate MSI barcodes into your business operations, such as inventory management systems, point-of-sale (POS) systems in retail, or library management systems.
    • MSI barcodes facilitate efficient tracking, inventory control, rapid data entry, and accurate product identification or cataloging.

What MSI Barcode is Used With:

MSI barcodes are typically used with:

  • Inventory Management Systems: For tracking and managing inventory items in warehouses, retail stores, and distribution centers.

  • Retail: For product identification, pricing, and inventory control.

  • Libraries: For cataloging books, periodicals, and media items.

  • Asset Tracking: For identifying and tracking fixed assets within organizations.

  • Healthcare: For patient identification wristbands, laboratory specimen tracking, and medical supply inventory.

MSI barcodes provide a cost-effective and reliable method for encoding numeric data and are widely supported by barcode scanners and software systems across various industries. They help streamline operations, reduce errors, and improve efficiency in data capture and management processes.
