Project background

10

1. GS1 Hungary’s successful pilot phase

2. GS1 Hungary proposed to extend the pilot to other countries and establish the basis of a global or regional system for MOs to verify GS1 GCPs

3. Support the GTIN intelligence activities

Project goals and objectives

11

1. Starts: January 2012 - Ends: July 2012

2. Real-time, user friendly mobile application to verify GS1 GCPs for the whole GS1 community:

• Report showing the results of the pilot testing in as many countries as possible

• Summary report and a common agreed process for verification

• Upgrade the application based on the feedback from the participants of the pilot

• Recommendation for the further development, hosting and maintenance

• ~1 month test period

• ~ 60 testers from 12 MO-s

• ~ 10,000. records • 7,306 scans (without duplications and

server errors)

• 6316 valid

• 454 faulted

• 536 invalid

Valid; 86.45

%

In-valid; 7.34%

Faulted; 6.21%

GS1 Logger Staff – statistics & results 2.

15

• Testers from 12 European Countries

• GCP-s from ~ 40 Countries from all over the world

• Invalid GCP-s from 40 Countries

• Reasons of invalidity• Fantasy / fictitious figures

• Already cancelled or revoked GCP

• False use or misuse of a correct GCP (e.g. 1 owner but 3 companies -> same GCP)

GEPIR for Staff…

• The Logger for Staff is connected to the Hungarian GEPIR router

• During the pilot we detected some discrepancies in the GEPIR network

• 37 routers were affected by Logger scans• 20 of them did not worked properly

• Issues experienced:– Daily request limit exceeded (although GS1 HU router is v3.1) (10 routers!)– Empty gepirParty response with RC 0 (no error)– Response: Unknown country prefix (RC 5)– Response: Server error (RC 99)

GS1 MOs can provide solutions based on GEPIR (e.g. for premium users) only if the GEPIR network is reliable

Key learnings:

1. The Good:12 MO is joining the project, more than 10,000 GTIN scanned, more than 500 invalid ID-Keys found

2. the Bad:no common agreed process how to manage the invalid GTIN-s

3. and the Ugly:the GEPIR network is often unable to handle the queries

And the winner is…

• Our `agent` who found the most invalid GTINs wins an iPad 2.

• The game started at midnight , 23 January 12.00 and ended at midnight on 13 February!
