GS1 standards in action

Shipments, products and logistic units are identified using GSINs, GTINs and SSCCs, respectively, and data is captured in barcodes or EPC/RFID tags. This enables visibility of shipments/logistic units between nations. Shipment data is shared via standards-based EDI messages. Real-time information can be shared using GS1 EPC Information Services (EPCIS).
