Still using a 1D barcode reader? The countdown to GS1 Sunrise 2027 is on.

Many manufacturers and consumer goods companies will need to transition from 1D barcodes to 2D codes at the item level over the next 18 months.

For customers using legacy 1D barcode solutions, this change means now is the ideal time to evaluate upgrade options.

As a SICK distributor, we can help you migrate to the SICK Lector family, delivering:

→ 2D code reading capabilities

→ Improved performance and flexibility

→ Long-term compatibility with evolving industry standards

→ A path toward GS1 Sunrise 2027 readiness

Waiting until the deadline approaches could lead to unnecessary project pressure.

Planning your transition today provides more time to test, validate, and optimize your solution.
