Supply chain logistics bar code management system
Supply chain logistics bar code management system
Concepts, supply chain logistics bar code
In the supply chain, following the logistics from raw material suppliers to the end customer of such a flow (of course there is also a reverse logistics process), capital flow and information flow are accompanied. Throughout the course of the supply chain for goods, services, the supply chain participants--suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, service providers and various physical locations such as shops and warehouses, the accurate identification, is the basis for next steps with effective data collection, information processing and use the next is very important. Bar code (UCC/EAN128), location code, and so on.
Trade Unit has several concepts in the supply chain, first divided into consumer unit, storage unit, freight units; quantitative unit of consumption units and storage units are divided into units and variables. Supply chain logistics bar code by EAN (International Article Numbering Association) and UCC (United States Uniform Code Council) developed for the trading unit identifier bar code, including commodity bar code (EAN/UPC), the Bar code in dispatch unit (ITF-14), the trading unit 128
Second, some characteristics of the supply chain logistics bar code is: identification of the trading unit the world's only; for supply chain management processes; information; information variability; ease of maintenance.
Third, the supply chain involves three core information technology
1, identification code (ID code): is to describe the product information or other data available as keywords. Including on goods, services, the participants and the location of the supply chain, asset identification codes.
2, bar code: symbolic representation of the ID code is used for non-artificial reading of the ID codes and other data.
3, data communication: the electronic exchange of information between the various participants in the process, that is, in the exchange of data between trading partners, is what we call the EDI.
Among them, identifying code is to describe the product information or other information about a keyword in a database, bar codes are used to represent data carrier identification code. Identification codes and bar codes are two different things, bar codes used to identify and the code is mainly used for machine reading, identify the code structure and described from the back in the bar code symbol indicates that the comparative chart, we can see the identity code instead of bar code symbols representing a control relationship.
Four, on the standard system of identification codes
The standard system identifies that mainly provides for the following: trade units, logistic units, locations/participants (subject to permanent physical or legal entities, functions that are identified, such as a company, or a company Department, warehouse, etc), assets, services.
International items coding Association in global promotion of EAN/UCC system of application area in constantly of expanded, including has service area, such as in medical health area, EAN/UCC system of application on very more; packaging and transport area, and textile area also with have many; in library service relationship management in the of application, and insurance company on customer of identifies, actually is in adopted such a global unified of identifies system. Following a detailed look at the 5 types of content identification.
1, trade unit identifiers
(1) definition of trade unit: trade unit is needed to find the relevant provision information, pricing, ordering at any point in the supply chain or a commodity (product or service). Include a single product and its combination of different types of packaging.
(2) the trade section of the category: physical or non-physical (such as services); the open environment or limited regional distribution; and variable quantitative cell unit; retail and non-retail; books and periodicals; individual commodities and merchandise mix.
(3) codes follow the basic principles of the trading unit:
Uniqueness: each of the different trading unit of the global trading unit to assign a unique identification code (GTIN);
No meaning: addition to variable commodity, trade units identified by unit identification code does not contain any information. Information shall be communicated to all trading partners of the trade unit;
Sustainability: identified if unit has not changed, its ID code remains the same.
(4) the structure of the trade unit identification code: code trading unit structure to sum up several structures in the figure below (detailed composition, see the bar GB/T12904-1998 and the China national standard standard book (ISBN) part GB/T12906-91 the bar code, the two standards also has just completed a revision. EAN/UCC-8 applies to identify smaller units, UCC-12 and UCC-8 apply to North America).
(5) in logistics of several common bar code symbol formats:
(6) identify the code structure and its bar code symbol represents a comparative relationship:
2, logistics unit logo
(1) logistics unit definition: for transport and (or) store any kind of packaging unit, which was established, the unit through the supply chain to manage, such as pallets, barrels, crates, containers and so on.
(2) identification of the logistics unit: to achieve effective tracking and efficient transport to the logistics unit, each logistics unit must have a unique identity. Through this identification can receive all necessary information with electronic methods.
(3) the serial shipping container code (SSCC): logistics unit through serial shipping container code (SSCC) is identified. Supply chain participants can use to access information about the computer. SSCC used with EDI and XML, join organic flow of information and goods flow, can greatly improve the efficiency of the loading, transporting and receiving of goods. SSCC is meaning-free, fixed-length 18-bit digital code, did not contain classified information, 18-bit code identifies a logistics unit as a whole. SSCC codes structured as follows:
Symbolic representations of the SSCC: SSCC is expressed in the UCC/EAN-128 bar codes, must be used with AI00 application identifiers.
(4) logistics label: national standards for "logistics unit label" (GB/T 18127-2000). Logistics label design is divided into 3 parts:
· Vendor section:
Contain information determining the suppliers for product packaging, can also include product variations, production and packing date, lot number and other information.
· Customer sectors:
Contains the vendor information when processing orders. May include cargo loading and unloading information, order number, the goods arrived in place.
· The carriers sector:
The message containing the shipment, in particular freight-related information. Such as: the delivery ZIP code and shipping code, and so on.
Supply chain logistics general standard for labelling standard is an open, global, for companies in the supply chain to identify logistics units or unit groups with an international address. Logistics system on the label shipping container code (SSCC) some are mandatory, and must be applied with the identifier "00" is used. Logistics unit label instance:
· Based logistics unit label
· Contains vendor and carrier sector logistics unit label
· Logistics supplier sector contains linked data cell tags
· Contains the logistics suppliers, customers and carriers to block cell tags
(5) placement of supply chain logistics labels: typically requires two tags identifying a logistics unit, two labels better fixed on the adjoining side. If circumstances do not permit each logistics unit at least one label.
· Height below the logistics unit of 1M:
For height less than 1M of cardboard boxes and other forms of logistics units, labels SSCC distance off the bottom of the logistics unit in the bottom 32mm, labeling and logistics unit is less than the distance from the vertical line in the 19mm. If logistics units have used EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, or trading unit 128 bar code symbol, the label should be attached to the above next to the bar code does not have links to the original bar code, and maintain a consistent level of location.
· Height above the 1M of logistics units:
Trays and other logistics units height of more than 1M, tags should be at the bottom or the pallet surface distance logistics unit 400mm location, Label distance from bottom edge of vertical logistics units should be greater than 50mm.
(6) application model on logistics bar code: everyone can be based on actual needs, are fixed data or change data. If it is fixed, can EAN/UPC goods unit codes; if it was used for storage and transportation, SCC14 barcode storage and transportation of such a unit could be used. If you are changing information, available through the SSCC18 bar code reflect is a luggage-level changes or a pallet-or truck-level changes. Application identifier and then add the relevant information to make up the information, the information transfer process is done through the EDI, of course now achieved through Internet-based e-commerce.
Barcode is hosted identifies information of a carrier, its hosted of information is with items together flow of, this information can in any a points up collection it, information collection to yihou, also can in supply chain upper and lower flow, this is supply chain in the commodity unit of identifies, as front by said, if is a fixed data of commodity, on used commodity barcode, as left Xia figure in the of EAN-13 barcode: If is storage and transportation unit of barcode, as right Shang figure of ITF-14 barcode, on used storage and transportation unit of coding standard. If you are indicating more logistics information, can be achieved through UCC/EAN-128 application identifier barcode.
We can access to the relevant national standards. Although bar codes in logistics in China do more with less, but in fact it is one of the most widely used areas. People from abroad to see printed on the packaging of the goods barcode ID logistics labels.
3, location code
Location codes are for applications such as electronic data interchange, automatic data acquisition of the legal entity, unique, accurate identification of the functional entities and physical entities.
Global location number is a key to access the fixed data, these data include: party name, postal address, location type, region, telephone number, fax number, contact person, and so on. Global location number to uniquely identify each participant in the world, is essential to achieving effective EDI and bar code applications. Through the exchange of EDI messages between trading partners, provides logistics unit information and physical location indicator, logistics and the effective flow of information.
Position coding structure using EAN/UCC-13 code structure, symbol UCC/EAN-128 barcode, see GB/T 15425-94.
4, asset identification
Asset encoding using EAN/UCC system for asset identification, for returnable assets or a single asset identification and management.
Each has a EAN/UCC manufacturer identification code of the enterprise can assign asset identification codes.
(1) identification of the global returnable asset
Recyclable assets are attractive, reusable packaging or transportation equipment, such as beer barrels, cylinders, plastic trays or crates. EAN/UCC global returnable asset identifier used, enabling asset tracking and recording of all relevant data.
For this asset management because it flows on a global scale, tracking and management of such assets, without global identity is difficult to do so. So, the EAN/UCC use of returnable asset identifier enables the global returnable asset tracking and records of all relevant data.
Identifies global returnable asset allocation:
-Where the asset ID code is a must: a series of identical assets with an asset should be allocated identification code.
-Series number is optional: was assigned by the asset, of all people, represents a single asset has a type code of a given asset, the field type is alpha-numeric.
(2) identification of the global individual asset
-In the EAN/UCC system, a single asset is considered to be an attribute with any physical entity.
-Life cycle of a typical application is to document aircraft parts. Can be purchased from the assets until the decommissioning, the process-wide asset tracking.
