Global Data Synchronization Global Data Synchronization

What is Global Data Synchronization (GDS)?As the pressure intensifies on supply chains to deliver products faster and more effectively, manufacturers, distributors and retailers worldwide are implementing global data synchronization strategies and turning to the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).

The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is an Internet-based end-to-end integration system, allowing trading partners (Manufacturers, Distributors, Wholesalers, Retailers, Food Service operators and Healthcare organizations) to securely access and exchange product information in real-time.

Trading partners always have the latest information in their systems, and any changes made to one company's database are automatically and immediately provided to all of the other companies who do business with them.

The GDSN uses the GS1 system based upon the Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN).

GDSN connects data pools to the GS1 Global registry a global yellow pages directory operated by GS1 GDSN, Inc.

Global data synchronization (GDS) is an ongoing business process that enables continuous exchange of data between trading partners to ensure synchronized information.

GDS is based on a publish/subscribe model. The supplier is required to publish its product information to a data pool, and the data pool then matches the published data to the known subscribers of the data.

The product information can be about price, party, and other relationship-specific attributes. This process ensures that all stakeholders for a product are notified about the latest information about the product.

GDS uses a global network called the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN)

It facilitates the synchronization of item information between retailer and suppliers by using a single global registry.

It is a single point of entry into the network for suppliers and retailers through selected data pools.

Once connected, the trading partners can subscribe to or publish all of their item information in a single and consistent process for all other trading partners that are connected to the GDSN.

Standards-based data exchange throughout global supply chain,

reducing supply chain errors, providing accurate, up-to-date and compliant with industry standards.

Traditionally, moving product data from a vendor/supplier to a retailer/distributor -labor-intensive and error-prone -the transfer of data very slow, information likely to outdate

Due to these traditional method barriers and hurdles issues, industry groups decided to work together on new technologies such as Global Data Synchronization (GDS),To help ease and speed the transfer of product data from manufacturer to retailer, as well as to increase accuracy and security.

The following figure shows the flow of product data between trading partners, data pools, and the global registry with in the GDSN.

The foundation of GDSProduct data is updated consistently between trading partnersData is validated against standards and business rules ensuring its accuracyTrading partners classify their products in a common, standardized wayTrading partners have a single point of entry through their chosen data pool, reducing the cost of using multiple vendorsThe uniqueness of items, such as products, cases, pallets etc., is guaranteed through the GS1 Global Registry

The key elements of GDSData Synchronization ensures that the recipient's product database or catalog contains the same information as the suppliers database.

Global Standards manage how the product data is stored and formatted.

Network allows product information to be published by its source and subscribed to by a recipient.

Data synchronization provides an automated method to synchronize our item information with suppliers, according to global industry standards, by utilizing the same format for all trade items and parties to improve accuracy.

Synchronizing data globally dramatically reduces time spent manually entering and adjusting information, making it possible to focus valuable resources on your core business.

Benefits realized by adopting GDSStandardized system for trading partners, reducing duplicate systems and processesReduced costs through the removal of inefficiencies and exceptionsImproved on-shelf availability, resulting in increased salesEnhanced collaboration between trading partnersSupport of new supply chain processes, for example, home shopping or RFID

IMAGE PROCESSING

What is IMAGE PROCESSING

Method to convert an image into digital form and perform some operations on it, in order to get an enhanced image or to extract some useful information from it.

It is a type of signal dispensation in which input is image, like video frame or photograph and output may be image or characteristics associated with that image.

Usually Image Processing system includes treating images as two dimensional signals while applying already set signal processing methods to them.

It is among rapidly growing technologies today, with its applications in various aspects of a business. Image Processing forms core research area within engineering and computer science disciplines too.

Use in Supply chainImage processing utilizes facsimile (fax) and optical-scanning technology to transmit and store freight bill in-formation, as well as other supporting documents such as proof of delivery receipts (POD) or bills of lading (BOL).

The rationale for this service is that timely customer shipment information is almost as important as delivering the goods on time.

As freight is delivered to customers, support documentation is sent to image processing locations, electronically scanned, and logged into the system.

Electronic images of the documents are then transmitted to a central data base where they are stored. By the next day, customers can access the documents through computer linkages or a phone call to their service representative.

Customer requests for a hard copy of a document can be filled within minutes by a facsimile transmission.

Customer benefits include more accurate billing, faster response from carrier personnel, and easy access to documentation.

The carrier also benefits because the system eliminates the need to file paper documents, reduces the chance of loss and provides improved credibility with customers.

Satellite technology, RF and image processing require substantial capital investment prior to achieving significant returns.

Experience has shown, however, the primary benefit of these communication technologies is not always lower cost but improved customer service.

Improved service is provided in the Form of more timely and accurate order entry, quicker shipment tracing. and faster transfer of sales and inventory information.

There will be increased demand for these communication technology applications as customers observe the competitive benefits of real-time information transfer.

Industrial application of Image Processing In context with Supply ChainIntelligent Transportation Systems This technique can be used in Automatic number plate recognition and the container number or the consignment detail on the container

Moving object tracking This application enables to measure motion parameters and acquire visual record of the moving object. The different types of approach to track an object are: Motion based tracking Recognition based tracking

Automatic Visual Inspection System This application improves the quality and productivity of the product in the industries.

Automatic inspection of incandescent lamp filaments This involves examination of the bulb manufacturing process. Due to no uniformity in the pitch of the wiring in the lamp, the filament of the bulb gets fused within a short duration.

In this application, a binary image slice of the filament is created from which the silhouette of the filament is fabricated. Silhouettes are analyzed to recognize the non uniformity in the pitch of the wiring in the lamp. This system is being used by the General Electric Corporation.

Silhouettes solid shape26

Automatic surface inspection systems In metal industries it is essential to detect the flaws on the surfaces. For instance, it is essential to detect any kind of aberration on the rolled metal surface in the hot or cold rolling mills in a steel plant. Image processing techniques such as texture identification, edge detection, fractal analysis etc are used for the detection.

Faulty component identification This application identifies the faulty components in electronic or electromechanical systems. Higher amount of thermal energy is generated by these faulty components. The Infra-red images are produced from the distribution of thermal energies in the assembly. The faulty components can be identified by analyzing the Infra-red images.
