Results and achievements so far Project Report

http://www.gs1.org/


Goal and objectives of the GS1 in EU project

• The goal is to provide a common agreed mobile tool for GS1 Member Organizations to validate GS1 GCPs.

• Objectives: • Common agreed process for verification• Availability of the application on iOS mobile

platform and in as many languages as needed

• Professional and „best” barcode reader software integration


Deliverables of the 1st phase

• Starts: January 2012 • Ends: July 2012• Real-time, user friendly 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 highlighting the status of

developments and the agreed process and framework of GS1 Logger for Staff to become as common tool to validate GS1 GCP in Europe (specification of the application, agreed process to use it)

• Recommendation for the further development, hosting and maintenance – That’s why we started the discussion with the Global Office and that’s why we are here


Other results of the GS1 in EU project

• A not expected side-effect of the project was to the call the attention of the weak operation of the Gepir Network. This issue was addressed on a sufficient level and hopefully will be resolved by the Global Office.

• Upon request a process was developed in order to monitor how MOs actually follow up the invalid numbers identified by the application (See appendix!)

Please continue…

• Due to the successful first phase of the Logger for Staff project the Regional Executive Committee of GS1 in Europe requested to continue the project

I. Release of version 2.0 capable to perform data content verification (and later barcode verification – v. 3.0)

II. Upon request from the current users to develop the Android version of the application (based on the iOS version 2.0 and to be tested on specific devices from the Android portfolio, e.g Samsung)

III. Report on the follow up of invalid numbersIV. Maintenance and handover to the GO


Resources

• Activity Sponsor• Béla Magyar and Boglárka Patvaros, GS1 Hungary

• Project Leader• Tímea Fodor, GS1 Hungary

• Duration• 1 July 2012 – 1 July 2013 (Maybe earlier depends on GO)

• Budget: 12 500 EUR• 5000 EUR – annual license of the professional barcode reader

software for two platforms and its further development upon request (iOS and Android)

• 2500 EUR – Website and server development• 5000 EUR – develop the Android version of the application


Discussions with the GO started…• At the last F2F meeting in May (Monica Walsh and Malcolm

Bowden representing GS1 GO) GS1 Hungary officially announced that we would be ready to grant a licence to the GS1 Logger for Staff to GS1 GO.

• The proposal was welcomed by Malcolm Bowden and he requested the following:• Arrange a follow-up meeting in Q3 2012 to

discuss the possibilities of transfering the Logger for Staff infrastructure

• Get an endorsement of GS1 in Europe


Endorsement of GS1 in Europe

• The Regional Executive Committee agreed with the proposal to grant a licence to administer the application and its infrastructure to the GO taking into account that more and more MOs have been using it outside of Europe

• REC decided to extend the project with an additional year for further developments and ensuring sufficient time to agree with the GO about the handover.

Report on following up the invalid GTINs (GCP)

http://www.gs1.org/


Common process to use the application and follow up invalid numbers

• The REC asked for biannual or quarterly reports about the follow up of captured invalid numbers!

• To be able to do so we need to agree what to do when we find an invalid number with the application.• Take 1-2 picture(s) of the product carrying an invalid numbers

to allow the MOs to follow up. • The picture(s) should allow the relevant MO to identify the

owner of the product and preferably the product itself• Send the report together with picture(s) to the relevant MO


Report on following up of the invalid numbers caught by the app

• In order to ensure the core value of our system MOs should do their best to use the report sent by Logger for Staff app and follow up the caught invalid numbers!

• In the (bi-annual ) report MOs need to answer questions as follows:I. Actions taken by the MOII. Reason of invalidityIII. Status

See the details on the next slides!


I. Actions taken by the MO

1. Did you follow up the invalid number caught by Logger for Staff? (yes/no)

2. Did you manage to contact the product owner based on the information on the picture about the label sent by the application? (yes/no)

3. Did you manage to identify the reason of invalidity? (yes/no)


II. Reasons of invalidity

1. Membership was not renewed accidentally by a former user company due to administration details (not on purpose)

2. Membership was not renewed on purpose by a former user company – system misuse (See more detail on the next slide!)

3. The company does not exist anymore4. Administrational or technical reasons due the MO5. Other


Types of System Misuse• The GS1 System Protection Guideline defines the

following types:• Copying numbers: A manufacturer/supplier copies the GS1

company prefix or GTINs of a GS1 user company• Inventing numbers: A manufacturer/supplier uses GTINs that

have not yet been assigned• Parallel GS1 organisation: An organisation uses the country

prefix of an existing MO or unassigned country prefix to allocate GTINs to manufacturers/suppliers

• Unauthorised transfer of GS1 numbers. A member of a MO transfers GTINs from its own number bank to another user

• GTIN Reseller: An organisation/company acquires GTINs from a GS1 member company and sells them to manufacturers/suppliers


Status

1. Membership renewed

2. New membership

3. Specific Company Prefix withdrawn

4. Legal process

Where are we now?The introduction of GS1 Logger for Staff 2.0

http://www.gs1.org/


GS1 Logger for Staff version 2.0

21

It can verify all GS1 ID Keys in simple or complex symbols

It scans EAN-8, EAN-13, UPCA, UPCE, GS1-128, GS1 QR Code, GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional and ITF-14

It decodes all GS1 Application Identifiers



22

Besides GEPIR checking (Validation), the App verifies the symbol itself and the content data according to the GenSpec v13 (Qualification)

All complex barcodes (multiple element strings) are decoded, and checked by the rules of mandatory, exclude and relation pairs.

Each element string is verified according to the rules of the corresponding AI.

Symbol and data content are checked by GS1 standards



23

Settings: GPS ON Level and GPS OFF GLN settings

GPS ON – available in three levels of public view

GPS OFF – with simple country selection

GPS OFF – with more detailed hierarchy
