GS1-128
gs1 128 · ucc-128 · license plate
Barcode standard that encodes lot, expiry, qty and GTIN in one scan — the foundation of license-plate inventory.
GS1-128 is a barcode symbology used to encode multiple Application Identifiers (AIs) in one barcode: GTIN (01), batch/lot (10), expiry (17), serial (21), quantity (37), etc. It's the workhorse for license-plate inventory because one scan reveals everything downstream systems need. V5 prints GS1-128 license plates at receiving and uses them through dispense, blend, package and ship.
How V5 handles it
Receiving — material lands, V5 already knows it’s coming.
Operators scan a pallet at the dock; V5 matches it to the open purchase order, attaches the vendor CoA, opens a quarantine record, and prints a GS1-128 license-plate label that drives every downstream scan.
WMS — lot- and bin-accurate to the gram.
GS1-compliant labels, license-plate scanning, and lot-rotation rules so your warehouse stops being the source of compliance risk.
