Identity and references
Model, manufacturer, serial-number and external identifier links can be connected to the permanent IDWorthy identity.
IDWorthy for Robots
A lasting operational reference for every robot.
Commercial and service robots can pass through different owners, operators, deployments, software states, and lifecycle events. IDWorthy gives each in-scope robot one stable identity around which those records can be governed.
It complements the systems already in use.
Manufacturer serial numbers describe a unit at manufacture. Fleet and cloud IDs serve their systems. Digital twins model technical state. Certificates and regulatory registrations serve their own purposes.
IDWorthy links these references to a persistent operational identity. It does not replace manufacturer serial numbers, GS1 identifiers, cloud IDs, digital twins, ROS identifiers, certificates, or regulatory records.
What a governed operational record can connect
Responsibility and change
Time-bounded operational assertions can distinguish manufacturer, owner, operator, maintainer, software provider, and deployment organization.
Lifecycle and evidence
Software references, lifecycle events, sources, evidence, verification decisions, and corrections can retain distinct real-world and system-recorded time.
Not a public rating.
By default, an IDWorthy identity is not a public score, rating, certification, safety conclusion, or regulatory compliance conclusion. A lifecycle status is also not evidence of legal ownership, safety, compliance, or performance.
