To capture the logistics unit identifier (SSCC), the GS1 Logistics Label provides recommended human readable and barcoded formats.
GTINs are encoded in barcodes, and EPC/RFID tags use radio-frequency identification technology to encode the GS1 identification keys – like the GIAI for transport assets and the GRAI for returnable assets – in EPC/RFID tags.
GS1 eCom messages for Transport Management, Order to Cash etc., exchanged via EDI in a business transaction between two parties.
Trading partners can share real-time information about the physical events in the supply chain using EPCIS based upon the capture of SSCC reads.
GDSN provides an environment for secure and continuous synchronisation of accurate product data.
This powerful combination of GS1 Standards links trading partners’ business processes with the physical processes for supply chain visibility.
