EPCglobal US, a subsidiary of GS1 US, supports the adoption and implementation of standards-based Electronic Product Code™/Radio Frequency Identification (EPC/RFID) technology in order to provide organizations with solutions that provide real-time, accurate information of enterprise assets and products in the supply chain.
EPCglobal developed the EPC which serves as a globally unique “license plate” that identifies objects in motion between suppliers, distributors, shippers and end users in external supply chains as well as within organizations. EPCglobal standards form a global framework for the way data is captured and exchanged, providing the visibility needed to determine the what, when, where and why of the physical movements of your products and assets anywhere in the world.
