RFID tags placed on the wagons and RFID readers located along the tracks provide information about the temperature of the wheel bearings, damage to the wheels and pantograph, the location of the delivery and the order in which locomotives and wagons are located. This means lower maintenance of tracks and vehicles and thereby fewer delays and facilitates loading and unloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The train companies themselves are responsible for marking and identifying their locomotives and wagons. The identity needs to be unique in relation to all other locomotives and wagons in Europe, which is created with a number series from GS1 called GIAI (Global Individual Asset Identifier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark your train wagons with a unique identity, you as a train operator need to be a customer of GS1 and subscribe to a GS1 Company prefix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/kom-igang\/\">Order a GS1 Company Prefix<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip! <\/strong>When asked what your company will use the number sequence for, enter: &#8220;Other&#8221;. If this option is not possible, then enter: &#8220;Mark items and packages with barcode EAN-13.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the approximate number of items that are to be identified with item number, it is recommended that you as a train operator enter 10 000, since it controls how large number series you are assigned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get RFID tag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to read information from your train wagons, you need to mark them with RFID tags. The RFID tags are programmed with a unique number, which you create in the next step, and place on the sides of the train wagons. There is a wide range of suppliers on the market that offer RFID tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/guides\/how-to-guides\/rfid-providers\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Contact suppliers<\/a> and get RFID tags.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Create numbers that identify the train wagon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using GS1 company prefix, you create a unique number for each train wagon called GIAI (Global Individual Asset Identifier).
