SerienummerID

SerienummerID is a unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to an individual item, unit, or product family within a system that tracks assets, inventory, or production. It serves to distinguish every physical object or batch from others, enabling precise traceability across its lifecycle, including manufacturing, distribution, usage, service, and end-of-life.

The format of a SerienummerID varies by organization and domain. Common elements include a manufacturer or plant prefix, a production or batch code, a sequential serial number, and sometimes a check digit for error detection. Some systems use purely numeric sequences, while others employ standardized schemes that integrate with barcode or RFID technologies. In many industries, SerienummerID is designed to be human-readable alongside machine-readable representations.

Typical uses and benefits include inventory control, warranty and service management, product authentication, recall execution, and counterfeit prevention. In manufacturing and logistics, SerienummerID supports lot tracking, recalls, and quality investigations. In software and digital devices, it can link to licensing, activation, and customer records.

Standards and interoperability: many sectors rely on internal schemas, but several standardized identifier families exist, such as GS1-based codes, UUIDs, or ISO/IEC 15459 identifiers, to enable cross-system compatibility and international exchange.

Data management and security: SerienummerID data should be stored in centralized systems (ERP, MRP, CRM) and protected against duplication and tampering. Transparency and controlled access help maintain data quality and trust in lifecycle processes.
