MSI Barcode
This Symbology is also known as
MSI/Plessey, Modified Plessey
Overview
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.
