For many companies, this raises questions about how standards and technical solutions are actually used in practice. To make it easier to understand, we are now launching    <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gs1store.gs1.org\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GS1 Store<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; <strong> an interactive tool where you can explore how QR codes<\/strong><strong>with GS1 standards<\/strong><strong>are used in commerce, pharmacy and healthcare.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>The GS1 Store is a virtual store or hospital environment where you can walk step-by-step through different departments, such as grocery, pharmacy, e-commerce and self-scanning. Each environment shows concrete examples of how 2D codes with GS1 standards (QR and GS1 DataMatrix) can be used &#8211; from logistics and planning to checkout and consumer information.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fran-inspiration-till-verkliga-anvandningsfall\">From inspiration to real use cases  <\/h2>\n\n<p>The tool is designed to provide a clear and accessible picture of what the implementation of 2D barcodes means in practice. Among other things, you can:   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>watch short, educational animations showing how QR codes with GS1 standards work and the value they create in different situations.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>learn concrete use cases that will help you understand the possibilities, whether you are just starting out or are already well on your way in your 2D journey.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>be inspired by new ways of working and solutions linked to QR codes with GS1 standards, for example for better product information, more efficient processes and enhanced consumer experience.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ett-stod-i-implementeringen-av-2d-streckkoder-nbsp\">A support in the implementation of 2D barcodes  <\/h2>\n\n<p>With increasing requirements and regulations around traceability, information sharing and sustainability, 2D barcodes are becoming a key enabler. GS1 Store helps you see how standardized QR codes can be used in real-world environments, creating entirely new consumer experiences and enabling more future-proof commerce.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/gs1store.gs1.org\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Explore the GS1 Store tool<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-relaterat-nbsp\">Related <\/h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/en\/2d-in-retail\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/2d-koder-inom-retail\/\">2D barcodes in retail<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are now launching the GS1 Store &#8211;
