The Industry’s Leading Source For Everything You Need To Know About The Latest Technologies

Technology is always changing. The one constant is the need to keep up. The PMA Technology & Standards Department is the industry's leading source on technologies: Data Standardization, Data Synchronization, Barcodes, Pallet/Case/Item Marking, RFID, GTIN, E-Commerce, and Traceability.

PMA has a full-time staff dedicated to emerging technologies. We’re working to improve supply chain efficiencies, reduce errors, and to make technology work even harder for you.

Recently, in an effort to collect important information on the new GS1 DataBar bar code (formerly RSS), PMA surveyed all U.S. retailer members. PMA supplier members asked for a list of retailers who will accept DataBar, regardless of current implementation initiatives. Please refer to the GS1 DataBar section under the Product Identification Standards page for additional information.
