As a part of the experiment, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) approved the options for integrating the manufacturer with two systems. The marking codes are associated with the ID (GUID) of the production VAD (veterinary accompanying documents), and then, when the goods move in the supply chain, the transfer of goods ownership is recorded in the GM SIS (Goods Marking State Information System) on the basis of the Unified Transfer Document. The electronic veterinary certification system Mercury controls the process of production and circulation of livestock materials and products, prevents the turnover of fake and counterfeit products, thus ensuring the biological safety of food. Marking of dairy products completes this system, increasing the level of traceability from the manufacturer to the counter.
The manufacturer’s APCS (Automatic Process Control System) and the CRPT’s (Centre for Advanced Technology Development) Order Management System will be integrated to obtain marking codes and validate their application; the APCS shall be integrated with accounting systems (for generating the UTD (Universal Transfer Document)) or the EDF (electronic document flow) operator (also for generating the UTD) to record the goods movement.
If the SKU does not meet the requirements of veterinary legislation, the production and movement of such products are shown only in the GM SIS; Mercury does not have data for this SKU.
The purpose of the experiment is to test the entire chain from production to the cash register.
The experiment includes the following basic steps:
1) Applying the marking code on the finished product;
2) Transferring data about the successful application to the GM SIS;
3) Introduction;
4) Movement of the goods along the product chain;
5) Withdrawal of the goods from circulation through the cash registers.
There are no requirements for the number of SKUs to participate in the experiment, but it is recommended to use several different packaging form factors, as well as one or more production lines.
After the transition period, the barcode can be removed from the package.
For the duration of the experiment, the marking codes are issued free of charge. At the end of the experiment, the funds will be debited upon delivery of the MC (marking code) application report. Participants bear the costs of risk for losses resulting from the goods write-offs/ defects, regardless of whether their goods are marked or not. This risk does not involve the service of providing marking codes by the operator. The marking code remains recognisable even when up to 50% of its area is unreadable. Damage to a larger area of the marking code may indicate damage to the product packaging, making it non-compliant with the safety technology regulations. Accordingly, the marking code application is not covered by the operator’s service and incorrect application cannot be attributed to the risks of the latter.
The dairy product identification means includes a marking code comprising four data groups and is identified by the attributes (application identifiers, AI) specified in the GS1 DataMatrix standard.
The GS1 Data Matrix FNC1 symbol (ASCII 232) will be present at the beginning of the marking code line.
1) The first group is identified by the application identifier AI=’01′, consists of 14 digits, and contains the product code;
2) The second group is identified by the application identifier AI=’21′, consists of 13 characters (digits, lowercase and uppercase Latin letters,
as well as special symbols, contains the unique dairy packaging serial number, and ends with the separating symbol FNC1 (ASCII 29);
3) The third group is optional and, depending on the shelf life of dairy products, contains:
— For products with a shelf life exceeding 72 hours, the group is identified by the application identifier AI=’17′ and consists of 6 digits in the YYMMDD format, containing the expiration date of the product;
— For products with a shelf life under 72 hours, the group is identified by the application identifier AI=’7003′ and consists of 10 digits in the YYMMDDHHMM format, containing the expiration date and time of the product, accurate to the hour, and ends with the separating symbol FNC1 (ASCII 29);
4) The fourth group is identified by the application identifier AI=’93′, consists of 4 characters (digits, lowercase and uppercase Latin letters, and special characters) and contains the verification code.
The composition of the marking code may slightly change in the course of the experiment. At the moment, the structure of the marking code includes an optional field containing the expiration date of the product with an accuracy of up to hours in the case of perishable products (under 72 hours) and up to a day in the case of non-perishable products. Based on the results of the experiment, the structure of the code may become binding, if its applicability has been confirmed by various application methods.
Methods of applying and reading of marking codes at the production site can be determined based on the results of inspection of production sites by equipment integrators and/or representatives of the Operator. Individual packaging form factors can be submitted for laboratory testing to determine, how to apply the required quality marking code to a specific form factor, as well as to validate the quality of the application when reading.
To apply the code on the label, you need an available area up to 15×15 mm. In order to apply the code on the caps of PET bottles, its surface will be prepared (for a printer: smoothing, for laser burning: spreading).
Printer, applicators (in case of labelling), and artificial vision. For printing in series — the artificial vision only. The detailed information about the equipment, its types of placement, and its integration into the line will be available after a survey of production sites.
Both codes of consumer or group packaging and codes of aggregates (boxes, pallets) can be transferred to the UTD. The codes are transferred in the electronic UTD structure in the corresponding fields. The procedure for transferring marking codes and the structure of the document was approved by Decree No. MMV-7-15/820@ of the Russian Federal Tax Service dated 19 December 2018.
Delivery is accepted on the basis of a UTD signed by both parties containing information about the accepted marking codes or larger units. Adjustments within the acceptance process are recorded using the corrective UTD (Universal Transfer Document)/UAD (Universal Correction Document).
It is allowed to issue, apply, and introduce to circulation the code of group packaging (the format is the same as the unit code; it is used to simplify the simultaneous disposal of several identical units, for example, yoghurt 4-packs). To identify a larger unit, an aggregation operation may be performed that preserves a link between the marking codes included in the group, transport, and other packaging group. The code standard is GS1. For example, aggregation allows for specifying marking codes for consumer and group packaging to be included in the codes of boxes, pallets, etc., which simplifies the acceptance procedure and storage.
The accounting can be performed on a per unit basis, where the pallet code (SSCC) contains the marking codes for consumer and/or group packaging.
