Company coding - situation today

• There is a clear need coming up for unique
  company coding in automotive applications for
• RFID
• Parts marking
• Labelling of packaging
• Engineering Collaboration
• and more
• There are also several identification schemes in
  use, under review or proposed for the future that
  could be combined
• UPIK
• PID
• OFTP2 security certificate exchanges
• EDI messages
• License Plate/Container Id

5
Odette Company Coding what are the ideas?

• Scope of the service (I)
• An Issuing Agency Service for company coding
• Odette will deliver a solution which meets the
  requirements of Auto ID/RFID (License Plate,
  labelling, parts marking), OFTP, EDI and
  UPIK/PID.
• An information service which allows access to
  detailed and up to date info (like UPIK) about
  business partners (This is probably where the
  main investment has to be made)

6
Odette Company Coding what are the ideas?

• Scope of the service (II)
• Odette will provide the guidelines for the
  information exchange of partner related data
  using EDI, XML or web services.
• The solution will build on a centrally maintained
  database using globally recognised formats.
• All data will be held securely

7
Odette Company Coding what are the ideas?

• Data formats
• Will be based upon the UPIK/PID structure.
  (T.B.C.)
• Pricing
• One price list
• Administration
• The Service will normally be directed through the
  NOs for European companies and through the CO for
  companies outside of NO territories.
• Other regional automotive organisations could
  become part of the system

Benefits of Odette compared to DUNS

• Organisational/commercial aspects
• Odette is neutral, non-profit
• Odette could act globally as one single entity
• Odette could maintain only one central database,
  this means more correct data and a more efficient
  maintenance procedure
• User aspects
• Flexible identification of business
  entities/locations (DUNS based on legal entities
  only)
• The Odette code is shorter than the DUNS code
• One source for company coding for several
  purposes (labeling, business information etc)
• Odette could offer Yellow Pages Services
• Odette could also offer automated partner data
  exchange services (EDI/XML)

9
Business Case

• Business Case individual companies
• There is a real need for unique identification
• Odette can offer value-added services in addition
  to the code.
• Business Case automotive industry in Europe
• Maintain control of automotive data formats
• Future funding source for common sector projects
  through Odette (CO and NO.s) and even global
  projects provided other regional organizations
  would promote the concept

10
ODETTE EUROPE

• IAC of OD
• One of 17 issued 2 character IACs (as of
  2007-05-01)
• Company Identification Number (CIN) is defined as
  4 an (providing over 1.6 million unique company
  coding structures)

11
A Prefatory Comment

• This is not a proposal to adopt GS1 and EPC data
  structures

12
Current AIAG Conventions

• Varying means by which to identify suppliers
• DUNS number
• Customer assigned identity of supplier
• Customer assigned part number
• Aids at receiving dock of customer
• Adds to supply chain complexity when a single
  product is supplied to and marked for multiple
  customers
• With shipping labels or labels applied when
  customer is known, this may not have been an
  issue, but with direct part marking the issue is
  more pronounced

13
Global Identification

• Need for globally unique automotive industry
  identity
• Need for globally unique manufacturer identity
• Need for globally unique part number
• Need for globally unique serial number or
  lot/batch/heat number

14
Need for Technology Neutral Metadata

• Issuing Agency Code
• Registration authority
• Code length
• Code character set
• Company identification number (CIN)
• Assigned by Issuing Agency
• Code length
• Code character set
• Product code
• Assigned by manufacturer
• Code length
• Code character set
• Potential for comprised of and component of
• Potential for form/fit/function generic and image
• . . .

15
Identification of Manufacturer

• Identity of manufacturer to follow Odettes four
  (4) character alphanumeric format
• Each country/region responsible for their own
  management

16
Identification of Product

• Automotive industry begins to phase in the use of
  supplier part numbers
• Automotive industry agrees to sunset the use of
  customer part numbers by 2010
• All part numbers are 10 characters (an) in length
• Between 2007 and 2010, automotive industry begins
  the process of crossing referencing customer part
  numbers to supplier part numbers
• UN/EDIFACT PRICAT/ORDRSP
• ASC X12 832/855
• Industry database

17
Data compaction

• 4 character (an) supplier code 10 character
  (an) product code 14 characters (an)
• An encodable character set of 36 possible values
  (0-9 and A-Z) can be achieved in 6 bits (26 64
  possible values) (better compaction schemes are
  possible)
• 14 x 6 84 bits
• Presuming a popular RF tag size of 96 bits, a
  non-optimized compaction, as noted above, would
  permit 212 4096 values for other uses, e.g.
  serial numbers. Optimizing compaction would
  significantly increase the availability of
  additional values.

18
Industry Database

• Cross-reference only
• Catalog
• eCommerce Portal
• If trading partners were to agree on a different
  data structure, e.g. GS1 or EPCglobal, those
  structures could be supported as well

19
Possible Cross Reference Function
20
JAI / Database Function

• Board comprised of two representatives of each
  country/region member, plus JAI chairman and
  database administrator
• Common annual CIN fee, example USD1500.00
• 75 to country/region member for marketing and
  education
• 25 to database maintenance firm

21
Issuing Agency Codes1

• IACs A J shall be reserved for organisations
  which are allocated a single character code.
  These organisations shall, in addition to the
  criteria for approval as set out in 4.2.1, meet
  the following criteria
• 1) be multi-national and be represented in all of
  the national members countries of ISO/IEC JTC
  1/SC 31
• 2) have official external liaison status with
  ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31
• 3) be a not for profit organisation
• 4) have a formal, long term relationship with at
  least five thousand license plate issuers.

1 ISO/IEC 15459-2, 5.5a
22
Automotive Industry Global Requirement

• IAC to identify joint automotive industry under
  one umbrella (JAI) to meet the requirement for a
  single alpha identifier (A for automotive??)
• Each country/region to identify suffix to JAI
• AC China
• AE Europe
• AJ Japan
• AK Korea
• AN North America
• All members agree to 4 character (alphanumeric)
  CIN

23
Application to RA

• Identify that there are CIN companies in each of
  the SC 31 member countries
• Establish liaison between JAI and SC 31
• Apply for single character IAC, ask for A
