DATA MATRIX
Data Matrix is a very area-efficient 2D barcode symbology that uses a unique square module perimeter pattern that helps the barcode scanner determine cell locations. It can encode GS1 data, letters, numbers, text, and actual data bytes. This symbol can withstand damage without causing a loss of data.

DOTCODE
DotCode is a two-dimensional (2-D) matrix symbology that is composed of dots that are arranged in a specified rectangular array. Released in 2009, DotCode was designed for use with high-speed industrial printers, where printing accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Because it does not require the use of continuous lines or precise spacing, it is often used in high-efficiency production environments.
