This Symbology is also known as MSI/Plessey, Modified Plessey

MSI was developed by the MSI Data Corporation, based on the original Plessey Code.

MSI, also known as Modified Plessey, is used primarily to mark retail shelves for inventory control. MSI is a continuous, non-self-checking symbology.

While the length of an MSI barcode can be of any length, a given application usually implements a fixed-length code.
