Digital marking

Is your business ready for digital marking?

Companies selling consumer goods within Russia or exporting them to Russia need to comply with new laws mandating the digital marking of products to combat the problem of counterfeit goods and low-quality analogues of well-known brands.

A dedicated public digital track and trace system called Chestny ZNAK has been created to manage the new scheme. All consumer goods manufactured in Russia or destined for export to Russia must be marked with a unique code that serves as a 'digital passport', tracking the product from factory to consumer.

SCHNEIDER GROUP offers a comprehensive solution to automate the process of obtaining codes for goods from Chestny Znak, marking products and tracking them in accordance with Russian legislation.

SCHNEIDER GROUP is an official integration partner of Chestny ZNAK

We use cutting-edge software that automates the registration of goods and the receipt of unique digital codes from Chestny Znak for each individual product, then generates labels with these codes. Labels can be printed and attached directly from manufacturing lines or sent to internal or external printing equipment. The solution automatically notifies Chestny Znak when goods pass control points, such as when they are introduced into Russian trade circulation or ownership transfers from one legal entity to another.

Implemented on the basis of the SAP Cloud Platform for reliability and resiliency, the solution includes the MarkingHub platform for marking a large volume of goods (over 100 million units per year), and supports full integration with SAP and 1C. There is also a light version that helps companies with small quantities of marked goods to save both implementation time and costs.
