Class
Description:
Companies
seeking to utilize EAN.UCC global standards for automatic identification must
first grasp the fundamentals of the requisite data carriers (bar codes) and data
structures (the actual numbers used for identification purposes).
The EAN.UCC
System of standards is jointly governed by the Uniform Code Council, Inc. and
EAN International; two separate organizations managing a single Global Language
of Business. The very acronyms and
abbreviations used for the bar codes and data structures are part of this Global
Language.
Students
completing this class will come away with a complete understanding of the data
carriers, data structures (and the data language!) used to identify Trade Items
and Logistics Items at all levels of packaging. While
the venerable U.P.C. remains in extensive use, it’s not just about U.P.C.
anymore!
This
course is a recommended prerequisite for students wishing to participate in the InSightU session,
[A206] EAN.UCC Global Trade Item Numbers and the 2005
Sunrise Date.
