With end-to-end (E2E) traceability as a goal, are the following broad adoption levels accurate?
Level | Data Needed | Standards / Carriers | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Generic e.g. we know we have bottles of Ibuprofen, not however that it was made by Advil. | Basic product attributes for usage | N/A |
2 | Manufacturer (what do we have and who made it) | Manufacturer/brand ID, basic attributes | GTIN ITF-14 on cases UPC or Databar on pack at SDP |
3 | First In First out (FIFO) | The product (manufacturer's or generic) and expiration date | GTIN and AI 17 GS128 on cases at distribution centers DataBar Expanded, DataMatrix on pack at SDP |
4 | Recalls Adverse Reactions | Manufacture's product and lot | GTIN and AI 10 GS128 on cases at distribution centers DataBar, DataMatrix on pack at SDP |
5 | Corruption Shrinkage Full trace | Manufacture's product, lot and serial # | GTIN, AI 10 and AI 21 GS128 on cases at distribution centers Data |
