Before you replace every barcode scanner for GS1 Sunrise 2027, check what you already have.

Many existing 2D barcode scanners may already support the barcode formats being adopted as part of GS1 Sunrise 2027. Depending on the scanner and application, a firmware update or configuration change may be all that is needed!

We put together a guide to help you determine whether your current scanners are ready, need an update, or should be replaced.

Why use near-edge thermal printing?

Near-edge technology is built for applications where speed, flexible media, and variable data matter. Because the ribbon and substrate separate almost immediately after printing, it is well suited for high-speed production, flexible packaging, synthetic materials, and other specialized applications.

It can be a strong fit for printing barcodes, lot numbers, expiration dates, prices, serial numbers, and other changing information directly during production.

Is your team wasting time typing serial numbers by hand?

Printed, etched, engraved, and dot-peened markings can often be captured electronically using OCR or DPM scanning, helping reduce manual entry and improve accuracy.

Your system says you have it. Your last count says you have it. So why can’t anyone find it?

Seagull is hosting an upcoming webinar on Wednesday, September 23 at 11:00 AM ET covering how real-time track and trace technology can help close the gap between inventory records and what is actually happening on the floor.

The session will look at uncontrolled inventory like work-in-process components, returnable totes, tools, consignment stock, returns, and other items that often move outside primary workflows.

Attendees will learn how to spot visibility gaps, improve inventory accuracy, verify movements and handoffs, and work alongside existing ERP and WMS systems.

Food traceability is not just about knowing where a product came from.

It is about having the right labels, data capture, temperature monitoring, and records in place when every handoff matters.

With the FDA Food Traceability Rule compliance date approaching, now is the time to review how your operation identifies products, tracks movement, monitors conditions, and maintains usable records.

We can help you build a traceability solution around your actual workflow.
