Industrial 2 of 5 is one of the first 1D and oldest barcodes and can encode only digits (0-9). It was invented in 1971<ref>{{cite web |first=Gerald |last=Wolff |url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US3701097A |title=United States Patent US3701097A by Identicon Corp "Decoding bar patterns" |website=patents.google.com |publisher=United States Patent and Trademark Office |date=20 January 1971}}</ref> by Identicon Corp. and Computer Identics Corp. At this time, it has only historical value because of low encoding density and restricted charset. Previously it was used for cardboard printing, photo developing envelopes, warehouse sorting systems and for management of [[Package_tracking|physical distribution]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://barcode.businessbarcodes.net/barcodebz/industrial-2-of-5.html |title=Barcode Industrial 2 of 5 |website=barcode.businessbarcodes.net|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200715025520/http://barcode.businessbarcodes.net/barcodebz/industrial-2-of-5.html |archive-date=2020-07-15 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=S.A.

Industrial 2 of 5 has low encoding density because an information can be encoded only in black bars and white spaces are just ignored. Industrial 2 of 5 barcode may include an optional check digit. Most of [[Barcode_reader|barcode readers]] support this symbology.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.newland-id.com/sites/default/files/documents/2021-02/em2037_v4_user_guide_v1.0.4.pdf#page=147 |title=EM2037-V4 OEM scan engine user guide |website=www.newland-id.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.superlead.com/UpLoad/201801/2DUserGuide_C_Series_V1%207.pdf#page=33 |title=SuperLead 2D Barcode Reader User Guide |website=www.superlead.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328222015/http://www.superlead.com/UpLoad/201801/2DUserGuide_C_Series_V1%207.pdf#page=33 |archive-date=2023-03-28 }}</ref>

==Encoding==
Industrial 2 of 5 can encode digits from 0 to 9.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.n-barcode.com/en/shurui/ind-25.html |title=Industrial 2 of 5 |website=www.n-barcode.com}}</ref> The digit can be encoded in 5 black bars on digit and white spaces are ignored. Any black bar can have two width: wide or narrow. Any white space can have any width by not more than narrow black bar.

Industrial 2 of 5 start/stop patterns and data patterns are split by white space. Industrial 2 of 5 could include optional [[Checksum|checksum character]] which is added to the end of the barcode. 

Industrial 2 of 5 features:
* character set is a number (0-9);
* encoding density low: barcode length on 50% longer than [[Interleaved 2 of 5]] symbology and on 172% than [[Code 128]];
* variable length of symbol;
* can include optional checking character.

Four bars in encoding scheme, except zero, have own weights which encode value of the symbol. Also, last black bar is used as [[parity bit]] to avoid single error. Symbol consists of five bars: two wide bars and three narrow bars. Value of the symbol is a sum of nonzero weights of first four bars.

As an example, we can see digit 3 is encoded. Weight 1 and 2 is not zero and parity bits is 0 means the count of bits is divisible on 2. The result: 1*1 + 1*2 + 0*4 + 0*7 = 3.
The same with digit 4: weight 4 is not zero and parity bit is 1, which means that count of bits is not divisible on 2. 0*1 + 0*2 + 1*4 + 0*7 = 4.

The barcode has the following physical structure:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://barcodeguide.seagullscientific.com/Content/Symbologies/Industrial_2_of_5.htm |title=Barcode Guide: Industrial 2 of 5 |website=barcodeguide.seagullscientific.com}}</ref>

<br>2. Start character
<br>3. Variable length digit characters, properly encoded
<br>4. Optional check digit
<br>5. Stop character
<br>6. Quiet zone 10X wide

==Checksum==
Industrial 2 of 5 may include an optional check digit,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://barcode-coder.com/en/standard-2-of-5-specification-103.html |title=Barcode-Coder: Standard 2 of 5 |website=barcode-coder.com}}</ref> which is calculated as other [[Universal Product Code#Check digit calculation|UPC checksums]]. This is not required as part of the specification, but check digit is added as last digit in the code to improve the accuracy of the symbology.
<br><math>x_{check} = 10 - ((3x_1 + x_2 + 3x_3 + x_4 +\cdots+ x_{2n} + 3x_{2n+1})\pmod{10})</math>, 
<br>where <math>x_1</math> is the most right data digit.

In this way it has all advantages and issues of Industrial 2 of 5 symbology.

IATA 2 of 5 was invented in 1974 by Computer Identics Corp.<ref>{{cite web |first=Stanley F |last=Zamkow |url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US3882464A |title=United States Patent US3882464A by Computer Identics Corp "Size ratio label reading system" |website=patents.google.com |publisher=United States Patent and Trademark Office |date=4 April 1974}}</ref> The barcode was used by [[International Air Transport Association]] (IATA) for managing air cargo.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.scandit.com/products/barcode-scanning/symbologies/iata-2-of-5/ |title=IATA 2 of 5 Scandit |website=www.scandit.com}}</ref>

IATA 2 of 5 version used by International Air Transport Association had fixed 17 digits length with 16 valuable package identification digit and 17-th check digit. Some readers currently still support this symbology<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.inateck.com/media/productattach/b/c/bcst-33_v2_181114_en.pdf#page=47 |title=BCST-33 Barcode Scanner |website=www.inateck.com}}</ref>
