This VDS encapsulates key data from a document in accordance with the associated use case. This data is electronically signed, enabling the Otentik Codes Reader to detect any tampering, to confirm the authenticity of the data and the legitimacy of the issuer. The reader displays the encoded information in a readable format, using one of the localized languages defined by the use case. The Otentik Codes Reader complies with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is non-intrusive and keeps no trace of your navigation.

The BEG ID Read is able to read datamatrix codes also on very reflective glass surfaces. Its particular use is reading laser marked datamatrix codes on glass containers, enabling the unique identification of the container. Having identified the unique container makes the container and its content traceable throughout its life – from cradle to grave.
