Abstract:
This paper describes a test-environment that has been developed in order to compare different variants of 2D barcodes in industrial environments. The main focus is thereby on ensuring that only the error-correction capabilities of the evaluated 2D barcodes are compared and thus a fair comparison is enabled. This is obtained by eliminating all circumstances that cause unequal conditions. As an example a comparison of a Data Matrix code (DMC) with a new variant of 2D barcodes based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is carried out by means of the developed test-environment.
