Initial situation

Clear labeling in the railroad sector is becoming increasingly important. Whether logistics, maintenance or procurement – a large number of processes can be optimized and made more secure by the unique identification of spare parts and assemblies. For this reason, many rail operators such as Deutsche Bahn, SBB, SNCF and Australian Railways have agreed on standardized labeling based on GS1 standards and have laid this down in a global application recommendation. This labeling is the basis for the mobile process support provided by the oneIDentity+ service platform, which holds a multitude of potentials for processes in the railroad industry.
