What Drives Traceability in Automotive

• Warranty• TREAD Act

8

Growing Pain Around Warranty

• Automotive sector spending 1% to 3% of product revenue on warranty costs

• TREAD Act requirements are increasing visibility in this area– NHTSA’s TREAD Act requires Vehicle Manufacturers to more

comprehensively track and report product issues to the Federal Government.

• And it’s not getting easier– Frequent Model Introductions– Increasing Product Complexity– Time Intensive Root Cause Diagnostics– Part and Platform Re-Use Grows

Exact Information is Available Now

2005

• Auto Warranty Costs = $13,964,561,4551.78% of worldwide sales

2004

• Auto Warranty Costs = $12,729,138,1821.65% of worldwide sales

2003

• Auto Warranty Costs = $11,933,347,4641.77% of worldwide sales

TREAD Act Reporting Highlights• Far more reaching than just tires…

• Focus is on Early Warning Reporting (EWR) requirements

• Heart of TREAD Act is traceability

• Reporting requirements are different if you are an OEM/tire manufacturer vs. a component supplier

• First reports were due to NHTSA December 1, 2003

• Severe civil and/or criminal penalties for failing to report information in a timely manner

Tells you what to markAddresses data fields, data identifiers,

numerous symbologies (linear & 2D), and provides definitions critical to this standard

Specifications for both direct marking and labeling of individual parts, kits, & assemblies/subassemblies

16

B-10 Trading Partner labels Implementation Guideline

• Specifications for container and pallet labels in the shipment, transport, and receipt of parts

• Updated for 2004 to include Code 128 and 2D symbologies

• Revision also includes quick receive bar code label to allow entire truck shipment to be received by scanning one or two simple bar codes.

Revision to B-11 Tire Identification Standard

• Update of the AIAG B-11 Standard published in 1994– New B-11 Mission Statement: To provide an

electronic means of transferring data from the tire to anywhere it needs to go.

– Standard to include the ability to use both labels and RFID tags

B-11 TIRE RFID STANDARD

This is the first RFID item level tracking application standard in the world

The work group has just updated this document to allow for retail information (EPCglobal syntax.)

Document could be modified to track any asset (Returnable containers, racks, engines, transmissions, etc.)

B-16 Global Transport Label Standard for the Automotive Industry

• Global automotive labeling standard.– Based on existing ISO, AIAG and Odette labels– Spirit of cooperation with Odette and JAMA/JAPIA– Mixed/Master label– Allows for RFID A1

RFID…

The Automotive Industry is the Single Largest User of RFID

Fact or Fiction?

24

“Automotive Industry Drives the RFID Market, Retail Still Waiting For Shoppers”, According to ABI

Despite all of the recent hype and excitement surrounding the introduction of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in retail markets, the automotive industry will spend nearly thirty times more on the technology this year.

Key applications of RFID technology in vehicles include immobilizers, automatic vehicle identification, and passive entry systems.
