3.1 Global standard

Clear, systematic labeling of products and transport units allows easy identification. Packaging units must always be labeled with uniform, standardized, and barcode-readable transport labels.

Representatives from Europe (Odette), Japan (JAMA/JAPIA), and North America (AIAG) have jointly developed a “Global Transport Label” standard that can be used worldwide for supplier and cus-tomer relationships.

3. INTRODUCTION TO THE GLOBAL TRANSPORT LABEL

For this standard the new VDA guideline 4994 “Recommendationfor utilization of the Global Transport Label (GTL)” has been pub-lished in December 2015.

MAHLE has complied with this standard in the design of its trans-port label, which suppliers must use for labeling goods. This will be described in greater detail in the following chapters.

Labeling all containers with the GTL is essential for MAHLEs new optimized, streamlined goods receiving process.

3.2 MILO—MAHLE Inbound Logistics Optimization

MAHLE has developed a new, streamlined process along the supply chain from the supplier to the customer, in order to reduce material processing times, identify defects at an early stage, and thus pre-emptively avoid short-term bottlenecks.

The supplier receives scheduling agreement schedules or stock lev-els and requirements via EDI or WebEDI in defined cycles. In return, the supplier sends the delivery note data back to MAHLE via EDI or WebEDI when the goods are issued. This Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) includes packaging data and the license plates (package serial numbers or handling unit numbers). Registering

the goods promptly avoids un-necessary communication be-tween MAHLE’s procurement teams and the supplier, while also achieving better capacity utilization in the goods receiving.

The containers must be labeled by the supplier using labels in the format required by MAHLE. The main feature of the label is the license plate in barcode form. When the goods are un-loaded, the barcode of the li-cense plate on the container’s master label is scanned using a tablet. If the license plate has previously been shipped via the ASN, the system will recog-nize the container. An unload-ing check is carried out. This makes it possible to immediate-ly detect containers for which no notification has been sent.

process with tablet


Thanks to an app that clearly displays the packaging specification, incorrectly packed goods can be identified very early on, avoiding a great deal of effort in the warehouse at a later stage. Other diver-gences from the process (e.g., incorrect bills of delivery, damaged packaging) can also be recorded directly in the goods receiving us-ing the tablet, and documented immediately with photographs.

The containers associated with a delivery note are booked into the system after all pallets from the same goods receiving have been scanned. The booking process requires the generation of a MAHLE

internal number for each license plate. This number only exists in the background but plays a crucial role in all storage and removal processes in the MAHLE warehouse. Accordingly, the supplier la-bel remains in use throughout the process and the containers are not relabeled. The accuracy and quality of the label is therefore ex-tremely important. Consistent use of the license plate guarantees the traceability of the finished product back to the supplier.


4.1 Label size and paper weight

The dimensions of the label for big load carriers (BLC) comply with those prescribed in the VDA standard 4902. This means that the format should be DIN A5 landscape (210 mm x 148 mm). The label for small load carriers (SLC) is half the height of the DIN A5 label.

The container label can be a tag or a sticker.

4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The quality of the transport label should be such that it remains visually and machine-readable at all times, despite environmental influences and transport damage at the place of delivery.

The labels must have a paper quality of >=140g/m².

4.2 GTL characteristics

There are two different forms of the GTL:

�� Master label�� Single label

Only the master label is used for containers with no subunits (e.g., cage pallets). For containers with two-layer packaging, with the same material found in each small load carrier (e.g., pallets of SLCs), the pallet is given a master label, while each small load carrier (SLC, carton, etc.) is given a single label.

In the case of mixed pallets, each SLC is given its own master label. Agreements to the contrary must be coordinated with the MAHLE plant receiving the delivery.

The labels differ in size as described in Fig. 3 and in the information that appears on them as outlined below.

Fig. 3: Difference between master GTL and single GTL


5.1 Document language

The fields must be completed in either German or English. By agree-ment with the receiving plant, the fields may contain the national language of the plant. The content of the fields must correspond to the EDI information.

Text or other data in the supplier field can be freely designed by the supplier and is not relevant for the receiving MAHLE plant or the forwarder.

5. LANGUAGE AND FONT

5.2 Font

The Helvetica or Arial font, or a similar font from the same family, should be used.


6. BARCODES

The quality of the barcodes directly affects the scan rate and the performance of the automatic data acquisition. The dimensions of the codes are of fundamental importance for the speed and first pass read rate.

6.1 Code 128

Linear barcodes must be designed using the Code 128 symbology and comply with the ISO/IEC 15417 standard.

In this symbology, bars and spaces are designated as elements. The narrowest element defines the X-dimension of the barcode. If the narrowest element is 0.25 mm wide, element width 1 would be 0.25 mm, width 2 0.50 mm, width 3 0.75 mm, and element width 4 would be 1 mm. For the barcode that represents the license plate (described in more detail in chapter 7.1.1), an X-dimension between 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm should be used. For the master label, the height should be between 17 mm and 23 mm, and for the single label between 8 mm and 12 mm.

For the barcode that represents the material number, an X-dimension between 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm should be used. It should have a height between 7 mm and 10 mm.

To achieve an optimal scan result, the bright field must be at least ten times the width of the narrowest element.

The quality of the barcodes must be verified in accordance with the test defined in the ISO/IEC 15416 standard. In this test, the barcode is checked for decoding (check character, bright field, encoded data, and whether the individual elements can be distinguished), symbol contrast, edge contrast, modulation, minimum reflectance, defects, and decodability (evaluation of the metric deviations from the de-sired value of the bars and spaces or the combination thereof).

6.2 PDF417 Code

The 2D symbology that should be used is the PDF417 symbology. PDF stands for Portable Data File. The symbols are stored in code-words. The 417 signifies that each codeword is made up of 4 bars and 4 spaces, and 17 units.

A PDF417 code can consists of 3 to 90 rows and 3 to 30 columns. As the number of rows is not precisely specified, a code can take different forms. The actual size of the code varies according to the data and the specification.

In order to achieve an optimal scan result, the code also requires a bright field. However, the code—including the bright field—must fit in the label fields A3 or D3 defined by MAHLE.

The columns contain encoded data as well as check and error cor-rection characters.

The PDF417 symbology includes built-in error correction, which allows even dirty, stained, or damaged barcodes to be read. The permissible extent of the damage depends on the number of check and error correction codewords used. There are nine different secu-rity levels (Levels 0–8). The higher the security level, the larger the 2D code. The number of correction codewords also decreases the space available for useful data.

The PDF417 code uses two-level enveloping. The outermost layer is the message envelope, which defines the start and end of the message. This message envelope contains one or more format en-velopes that contain the data.

6.2.1 Print parameters

The following parameters must be considered when printing:

Code typ PDF417

Printer resolution minimum 300 dpi

Error correction level Level 5

Unit width X minimum 0.25 mm

Unit height minimum 3 X

Bright field left and right minimum 10 X

Bright field top and bottom minimum 4 X

Code width maximum 55 mm

Code height maximum 38 mm

The ratio between width and height should always be selected so that the height is as small as possible and the width as large as possible. This creates advantages in decoding.

6.2.2 Syntax

The 2D barcode must be constructed in accordance with the syntax described in ISO/IEC 15434:

�� Message header – Format header – Format trailer

�� Message trailer

RS, GS and EOT are nonprintable ASCII characters that can be iden-tified in the scanning process.

6.2.3 Message envelope

The message header consists of two parts: the compliance indicator ( „[)>“ ), made up of three characters, and the format trailer („RS“).

The message trailer identifies the end of the message within the data row. For this, the nonprintable character “End of Transactions—EOT” is used. The character for the trailer should not be used anywhere else in the message

6.2.4 Format envelope

The format envelope describes the start and end in a given format, defines the format used within the envelope, and defines the char-acters used to separate the elements.

The format header is composed of a format indicator (a two-digit numerical identifier, which defines the rules of the format) and vari-able data that defines which separator, version, last revision, date, or control information of the relevant standard should be used).

The separator is an integral part of the data row. In the format “06”, data elements should be separated by the nonprintable separator GS. The format trailer identifies the end of the format envelope and should be represented by the nonprintable ASCII character RS.

Tab. 2 shows an example of a complete message format:

7. GTL LAYOUT

7.1 GTL fields

7.1.1 License plate

The license plate is the decisive element. It is a package serial num-ber that is made up as follows: Qualifier + MAHLE supplier ID number (9-digit number with leading zeros filled in) + sequential package serial number (9-digit number)

The qualifiers can be divided into the following two cases:

�� Single-layer packaging – Big load carrier has the qualifier 1J

�� Two-layer packaging – Big load carrier has the qualifier 6J – Small load carrier has the qualifier 1J

If small load carriers with several different material numbers are transported on one big load carrier, the individual small load carriers are, by default, to be regarded as large containers and labeled with a master label with the qualifier 1J.

Deviations from this system must be agreed with the relevant plant.

7.1.2 Fields and dimensions in the master GTL (A5)
