Resolving in Auto-ID
In a digitally networked world, unique identification is essential for transparent and efficient processes. Resolving refers to the process of retrieving and providing specific information about a product or resource. By linking unique identification numbers with digital data, companies can make their supply chains more transparent and efficient.
Dynamic Resolving makes it possible to retrieve and update product information in real time. This ensures flexible and adaptable management of product data that is available anytime and anywhere. The stored resolving targets can be changed with just one click. With the help of modern technologies such as QR codes, RFID and NFC, companies can ensure that the relevant data is always up to date and accessible.

Possible number ranges
There are various number ranges that can be used in the resolving process as part of automatic identification. The following are particularly easy to understand:
Each NFC chip contains a globally unique serial number (UID) that can be used for identification and linking with digital information. They are usually 7 or 8 bytes long.
GS1 identifiers such as GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers) and GIAIs (Global Individual Asset Identifiers) are widely used and enable standardized product identification.
Individual serial numbers assigned by manufacturers offer another way of uniquely identifying products.
The Identification Link (IL) in accordance with IEC 61406 is a globally unique identification of physical objects that serves as a link to digital information.
Companies can also use their own proprietary numbering systems to uniquely identify and manage their products
Selected resolving concepts at a glance
GS1 Digital Link
The GS1 Digital Link standard links GS1 identifiers such as GTINs to the web, making different information about a physical unit available via a single link. This gives consumers and supply chain partners flexible access to up-to-date product information without having to adapt the data carrier itself.
Identification link
The Identification Link (IL) according to IEC 61406 defines the requirements for the globally unique identification of physical objects. The IL string corresponds to the data format of a URL and is machine-readable. It is used as 2D code or NFC tag attached to the physical object and enables access to digital information linked to it.
