Seed Cotton Module Identification System

ASAE/ASABE S647 – Seed Cotton Module Identification System

The scope of the standard is limited to identification of seed cotton modules and the technology to read theidentifiers. It does not address data transfer beyond the identifier such as area harvested, location, or ownershipinformation.

The identifier is meant to provide a link between the field and the gin and to also allow association of balerelated data back to the module. Actual use of the association between the bale numbers and module identifieris at the discretion of the gin and producer.

This standard is designed for global applications so that manufacturers of the enabling technologies andothers should expect that if the system defined in this standard is followed, it can be applied to any cottonproduction system in the world.
