What industry is DotCode suitable for?

The use of DotCode has seen great success in packaging serialization in the European tobacco industry, where fast-paced production environments (often producing up to 1,000 packs per minute) require high-speed product labeling solutions.

The Global Standards body GS1 is responsible for maintaining a global standard for the use of DotCode in the tobacco industry to meet the requirements of the EU Tobacco Traceability Regulation EU 2018/574.

While the most obvious use of DotCode is in the tobacco industry, the code's applicability in fast-paced production environments may be useful for other industries with high-speed coding requirements, such as the alcoholic beverage industry, where serialization may become a requirement in the future.
