modelltypeserienummer

Modelltypeserienummer is a label used by manufacturers to uniquely identify a product by both its model type and its individual unit. The term is encountered in Nordic languages and relates to how companies track variants, production, and after-sales support. It supports traceability across the product lifecycle, including manufacturing, distribution, service, and warranties.

The code typically combines a model-type segment, a variant or version segment, and a unique serial component. Formats vary by company and industry, and may use hyphens, slashes, or continuous strings. Examples might resemble MTX-ROVER-A-00012345 or MT-2024-04-012345. Some organizations maintain separate fields for model number and serial number, while others store both in a single field as one string.

Purposes of a modelltypeserienummer include identifying the correct parts and procedures during maintenance, validating warranty coverage, enabling recalls, and recording service history. The identifier helps manufacturers, distributors, and service providers ensure that interventions are appropriate for the specific model type and unit.

Relation to other identifiers: a model number or type code generally conveys the design or variant, while a serial number identifies a single item. A modelltypeserienummer can be used to combine these aspects, but many systems implement separate model/type codes and serial numbers for flexibility and clarity.

Implementation considerations include labeling requirements, data management in ERP and CRM systems, and supply-chain integration. Challenges may include counterfeit or tampered codes, lack of standardization across product lines, and privacy or compliance concerns related to traceability data.
