January & February 2024

GS1 Singapore is thrilled to be a part of the Manufacturing Day Summit 2024 held at Marina Bay Sands on 19 January 2024. We are excited to support manufacturers and demonstrate how our solutions can help them overcome challenges and achieve success. This aligns with the Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Mr Alvin Tan's focus on addressing core challenges faced by the manufacturing industry, which are central to GS1's mission.

We promise a glimpse into the future, showcasing the transformational power of next-generation 2D barcodes. These barcodes go beyond the simple "beep" at checkout, holding a wealth of data accessible through a quick scan with a smartphone or in-store scanner.

Our booth offers an interactive demo showcasing practical applications of 2D barcodes at the point of sale. Visitors witness how they manage expiry dates, facilitate product recalls, and even automate price adjustments. It also demonstrates how 2D barcodes, powered by QR codes and digital links, can create a seamless connection between customer engagement, e-commerce, supply chains, and regulatory compliance.

GS1 Singapore recognises the importance of collaboration and proudly presents our strategic partnership with Amazon which helps our members sell globally. As a leading advocate for efficient product identification, Amazon mandates the use of GS1's Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) for all sellers.

📲Join us in advocating for a significant advance in healthcare accessibility with Apple and Google.

Imagine a seamless experience where your mobile device's camera directly scans the barcode on a medicine or a medical device, providing you with online information about your treatment instantly.

This isn't just about digitalisation – this is about, reducing medication errors, expediting recalls, combating counterfeit products, accessing relevant information about donated products…

This transformation is about improving patient safety everywhere.

Today, we’re calling on Apple and Google to enable native scanning capabilities for the GS1 DataMatrix barcode, along with the recognition of the data encoded in the barcode just like it has been done for the QR-code, marking a groundbreaking transition for all patients and their safety.

Together, let's act and collaborate to make health information accessible with a simple scan.
