Identification

Identification involves the unique recognition and assignment of goods, objects, shipments, or load carriers within logistics processes. It forms the basis for transparent tracking and the automated control of processes.

In logistics, identification is often carried out using technologies such as barcodes, RFID, OCR, or camera-based systems. The captured information enables the automatic assignment of packages, pallets, or containers and is transmitted to ERP, WMS, and TMS systems. Reliable identification reduces errors, accelerates processes, and creates the necessary data foundation for automated material flows and end-to-end traceability.

Practical example:

As a pallet passes through a measuring station, it is automatically identified via its barcode, and the corresponding dimension and weight data are assigned to the correct order.
