Barcodes[edit]
Barcodes are the standard GS1 Australia is most commonly known for, with barcodes defined by GS1 standards being very common[8]. GS1 encode a global trade item number or GTIN, that can be scanned electronically, making it easier for products to be tracked, processed, and stored.
Barcodes improve the efficiency, safety, speed and visibility of supply chains across physical and digital channels[9]. They have a crucial role in the physical and online retail industry, moving beyond just faster checkout improved inventory and delivery management[10][11].
The barcode recently reached its 50th birthday [12] [13], this milestone was celebrated in Australia and abroad [14] [15]. With this milestone, the discussion quickly shifted to whats next for barcodes, with the use of 2D Barcodes (QR codes) being the expected next step[16] [17] [18].
Standards[edit]
GS1 Australia's standards are consistent with those of all GS1 member organisations, making the most notable GS1 standard the GTIN. GS1 standards are used with the goal of making supply chains more efficient for all[19][9][20].
Main GS1 standards are as follows[21][11][20]:
- Application Level Events (ALE)
- Core Business Vocabulary (CBV)
- EAN/UPC barcodes
- EPC/RFID tags
- EPCIS
- GEPIR
- Global Data Model
- Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN)
- Global Document Type Identifier (GDTI)
- Global Individual Asset Identifier (GIAI)
- Global Identification Number for Consignment (GINC)
- Global Location Number (GLN)
- Global Product Classification (GPC)
- Global Returnable Asset Identifier (GRAI)
- Global Service Relationship Number (GSRN)
- Global Shipment Identification Number (GSIN)
- Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
- GS1-128
- GS1- 2D Barcode
- GS1 DataBar
- GS1 DataMatrix
- GS1 Digital Link
- GS1 EDI
- ITF-14
- Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP)
- Object Name Service (ONS)
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
- Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
Many GS1 standards are also ISO Standards[22][23].
GS1 Australia is an advocate of RFID, campaigning alongside some of Australia's biggest retailers including K-Mart, Target, Myer and Super Retail Group[24] for more widespread use of the technology in the country due to its efficiencies[25][26][27].
Industries[edit]
GS1 Australia work closely in over 15 industries including:
Retail[edit]
Retail was the first industry GS1 began working with and has remained a primary focus.
With consumers relying on e-commerce now more than ever[28][29][30], GS1 has developed standards that uniquely identify products for the benefit of consumers and search engines, providing accurate and complete product information digitally[31]
Major e-commerce companies including eBay, Amazon, Google, Catch.com.au and Alibaba require companies to use a GS1 GTIN to sell on their websites[32][33][34].
