Data Matrix Plugin

Version

Application Scenario

In the production environment of workshops, the generation and recognition of Data Matrix codes are crucial programs used for efficient tracking and management of product information.

Workshops can realize the visualization and data analysis of the generation and recognition of Data Matrix codes through the integrated process on the FineReport platform, providing strong support for production management and decision-making.
