AutoID URL: Object ID plus access to the digital twin

AutoID URL is an EDCi e.V. research project,


that aims at the development of a solution to add WEB compatibility to the classical method of unique identification of objects by barcode, so that e.g. a counterpart (digital twin) on the Internet can be accessed by smartphone to get connected information or to establish dialogs.

The project consisted of the following steps:

  • analysis of demand, relevant standards and possible solutions with the help of already existing standards for barcode, RFID/NFC and Internet communication
  • drafting of a specification
  • distribution to technical committees for comments and incorporation of comments
  • finalization of the specification
  • programming order for a demonstrator
  • publication as AutoID URL 1.3 with demonstrator for public access


The modules of the specification are also relevant for use in projects, such as:
"IEC 61406-2 Identification Link, Part 2", "ISO/IEC CD 18975 Encoding and resolving identifiers over HTTP" and "Digital Product Passport (EC)".
