Introduction to Data Parsing Technology
This document provides a comprehensive overview of Zebra's Data Parsing technology for handheld scanners. It details how to program and demonstrate its capabilities, supporting critical industry solutions such as Unique Device Identification (UDI) parsing, GS1 label parsing, and Blood Bag (ISBT 128) parsing.
Zebra's Data Parsing technology enables scanners to efficiently extract specific data fields from multiple barcodes, even across different sides of a container, and transmit them in a desired order to a host application. This enhances automation and data accuracy in various sectors, including healthcare and logistics.
Key Features and Applications
- UDI Parsing: Facilitates compliance with healthcare regulations by enabling track-and-trace capabilities for medical devices.
- GS1 Label Parsing: Supports global standards for shipping, logistics, raw materials, and produce identification.
- Blood Bag Parsing: Adheres to ICCBBA standards for the identification and tracking of blood products.
Getting Started
To implement data parsing, users will need Zebra scanners (e.g., DS8108, DS8178) and the 123Scan configuration utility. The document guides users through the setup process, including programming parsing rules and testing with various barcode types.
