The GS1 System is an integrated system of global standards that
provides for accurate identification and communication of
information regarding products, assets, services and locations. It
is the most implemented supply chain standards system in the
world.
The GS1 System is the
foundation of a wide range of efficiency-building supply chain
applications and solutions. Based on GS1's ID
Keys, a common recurring set of Identification
keys, the GS1 System is composed of four key product areas:
|
|
Global
data and application standards for bar codes that use the
globally recognised GS1
Identification Keys to automatically identify things
such as trade items, locations, logistic units, and assets
.
|
|
|
Global
standards for electronic business messaging that allow
rapid, efficient and accurate automatic electronic
transmission of agreed business data between trading
partners. Based on two components: GS1
EANCOM and GS1
XML.

The
Global Data Synchronisation Network™ (GDSN™) is an
automated, standards-based, global environment that
enables secure and continuous data synchronisation ,
allowing all partners to have consistent item data in
their systems at the same time. Global
Product Classification (GPC) is a key component of
GDSN , enabling effective category management.
|
|
|
A
new global standards system that combines RFID (radio
frequency identification) technology, existing
communications network infastructure and the Electronic
Product Code (a number for uniquely identifying an item)
to enable immediate and automatic identification and
tracking of an item through the whole supply chain
globally, resulting in improved efficiency and visibility
of the supply chain.
