Automatic Identification technologies start always from a basic point:\u00a0assign an identity to the object<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

RAIN RFID is not an exception and, like many other AutoID technologies, permits to\u00a0\u00a0choose the right code for the object<\/span><\/strong>, in other words, the memory where the code is stored inside a label is rewritable.<\/p>\n

So, how to choose the right code for your item?<\/h2>\n

There are two main options: using a\u00a0proprietary<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0or a\u00a0standard coding scheme<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A proprietary\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>code\u00a0is typically simpler to implement, you choose the rules to build your code and you generate the codes accordingly. Having full freedom you can\u00a0adapt the code to your needs<\/span><\/strong>, you can\u00a0make the code human readable<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0or to be simply numeric. It\u2019s your code and when you use it inside your company it works well but \u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What happens when one of your labels leaves your company? You are\u00a0the only one knowing the rules<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0used to build the code and, consequently,\u00a0the only one able to decode it<\/span><\/strong>. If you are a manufacturer probably your resellers are not happy about that, they will need to replace your labels if they use RAIN RFID to organize their processes. Same situation if a foreign label enters your company.<\/p>\n

But this is not the worse thing! With barcode labels you read only one label at a time so it\u2019s simple to understand which item is coded incorrectly, it is the one you are reading in that moment. With RAIN RFID technology you read multiple labels at a time, typically hundreds of labels in a few seconds and without a line of sight so it\u00a0is not simple to recognize<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0which\u00a0labels\u00a0are\u00a0coded incorrectly<\/span><\/strong>. Even worse, some of the foreign labels can have a code that can be decoded using your rules even if it was encoded with different rules!<\/p>\n

As a silly example look at the picture below.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The code \u201cEVENTONE#1234\u201d<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0can be created starting from different data sources.<\/p>\n

The result is that you can enter an event using a cosmetic product or you can think to have a cosmetic product on the shelf while, maybe, a customer has a ticket in his pocket.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0for all these potential problems (and others) is simple:\u00a0using a code scheme<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0compliant with a global standard<\/span><\/strong>. A global standard, like\u00a0\u00a0GS1<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0ISO codes<\/span><\/strong>, ensures that your code is unique not only inside your company but across all organizations in the world. They also have other useful features, like\u00a0standard headers<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0that define the type of code and that you can use to filter unwanted labels avoiding errors in your database.<\/p>\n

Using\u00a0\u00a0standard codes is mandatory\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>if your product flows along an open supply chain<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0where different stakeholders need to read and decode correctly your code but, as discussed above, it is always a good idea, even if your tag never exits from your company.<\/p>\n

But, if you still have some special reasons to use proprietary codes, there is a fair way to do so,\u00a0ISO standard\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>provides a method to define proprietary codes with a special header<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0that says \u201cHey, this is a proprietary code!\u201d informing the user who can decide to ignore it or to decode it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
