Abstract
The evolution of barcode systems will enter a new stage in 2010. The GS1 DataBar will complement
and consequently replace the existing EAN/UPC standards. This paper elaborates on
the main conceptual differences between these two barcode generations and discusses evolving
potentials of the GS1 DataBar. Based on that, results from a Delphi study are presented comprising
the notions of 15 experts who represent different partners of grocery supply chains. The
results from two Delphi rounds show that the respondents see an extraordinary importance of
this new barcode generation for the collaboration between supply chain partners. This standard
is also seen to facilitate instore-logistics processes with respect to bulk fresh food products.
