1 Role of GS1 EPCglobal in Thailand Pitchya Vajarodaya CEO, GS1Thailand Organization Overview The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), a non-profit organization, was appointed by GS1 Global Office to administer GS1 System utilization and take on a leading role in Thailand. Therefore, GS1Thailand Institute (formerly known as EAN Thailand), was established on February 26, 1993 under the supervision of FTI to take responsibilities as following : 1. Act as an intermediary for manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumer to support and promote GS1 System and electronic data communication in Thailand. 2. Act as a registry to issue GS1 identity numbers to members. 3. Act as a registry to issue Electronic Product Code (EPC) identity numbers for RFID to members. Slide 2

2 Organization Overview 4. Encourage and support the members on system improvement of data capture and manage product information effectively. 5. Study, research, and disseminate new inventions on equipment, technology, information, news or message pertaining to the use and printing of GS1 System. 6. Promote and develop the applications of GS1 System and EDI for Supply Chain & Logistics. 7. Function as Secretariat to ECR Thailand (Efficient Consumer Response). Slide 3 - Overview of GS1 System The Global Language of Business OVERALL BENEFITS: Improving efficiency & visibility in supply and demand chains Global standards for automatic identification Global standards for electronic business Messaging The environment for global data Synchronisation Global Standards for RFID-based Identification RAPID AND ACCURATE ITEM, ASSET OR LOCATION IDENTIFICATION RAPID, EFFICIENT & ACCURATE BUSINESS DATA EXCHANGE STANDARDISED, RELIABLE DATA FOR EFFECTIVE BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS MORE ACCURATE, IMMEDIATE AND COST EFFICIENT VISIBLITY OF INFORMATION GS1 Common Identifiers (e.g. GTIN, GLN, SSCC, GRAI, GIAI, etc ) Slide 4

3 Barcodes Revolutionalise Check Out In June of 1974, the first U.P.C. scanner was installed at a Marsh's supermarket in Troy, Ohio. On June 26, 1974 the first product scanned at the check-out with a bar code was Wrigley's gum. Modern bar code began in Bernard Silver, a graduate student at Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia, overheard the president of a local food chain asking one of the deans to undertake research to develop a system to automatically read product information during checkout. Silver told his friend Norman Joseph Woodland about the food chain president's request. Woodland was a twenty seven year old graduate student and teacher at Drexel. The problem fascinated Woodland and he began to work on the problem. Slide 5 GS1 Identification Numbers are: Unique: every variant of an item is allocated a separate unique number Non-significant: they identify an item but contain no information about it International: GS1 identification numbers are unique across all countries and all sectors Secure: GS1 numbers are fixed length, numeric and include a standard check digit Slide 6

4 Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN) GTIN-13 data structure EAN.UCC Company Prefix Item reference Check Digit N 1 N 2 N 3 N 4 N 5 N 6 N 7 N 8 N 9 N 10 N 11 N 12 N 13 Slide 7 GS1 identification numbers map into EPC An Example of How GTIN Integration Works With the EPC Illustrative Example (GTIN-13): EAN Company Prefix Item Reference Check Digit ) > Remove Check Digit EPC: Header EPC Manager Number Object Class Number Serial Number GTIN Slide 8

11 Our World Has Become Global NAFTA EU Exports: $8.82 trillion f.o.b. (2003 est.) OAU ASEAN Imports: $8.75 trillion f.o.b. (2003 est.) WTO Slide 21 Who Needs Global Standards? Anyone who is trading with other nations which is just about everyone Global trading partners in the same industry Global trading partners in linked industries Companies who trade and operate across multiple countries I am all for global standards, but adopt my country s standards Country specific standards are just fine provided that you don t import or export anything.. Slide 22

12 What If You Don t Have them? Three competing standards in the U.S. Led by CDMA Non-interoperable systems GSM 90% of world outside of North America Not fun if you travel globally! Slide 23 The Benefits of Global Standards Potential to transform business process Pallet aggregation The power of event related information Improved customer availability Demand driven supply chain Reduced inventory Reduced counterfeit Improved ability to track and trace Shrinkage Returnable Assets Transformation of commercial relationships Electronic POD ( Proof Of Delivery ) Slide 24
