GS1 Application Identifier (AI)

GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs) are standardized codes used in barcodes and RFID tags to organize and share specific types of information about products or items. Each AI acts like a label that makes it easy to identify data such as product serial numbers, expiration dates, batch numbers, or price. By using AIs, different systems and companies can communicate consistently, ensuring accurate tracking, inventory management, and supply chain operations. Essentially, AIs help translate complex product details into a uniform format that technology can quickly interpret and process.
