What is the EPCglobal Network?
The EPCglobal Network is a framework that enables immediate, automatic identification and sharing of information on items in the supply chain. The network consists of the ID System (EPC tags and EPC readers), EPC Middleware, EPC Information Services (which enable trading partners to exchange information), and Discovery Services, which is a suite of services to enable users to find data related to a specific EPC.
The EPCglobal Network is a system that leverages an authoritative, highly scalable infrastructure to create a low-cost, standards-based set of services for finding and sharing information about products in the supply chain. Collectively, the system enables the benefits of a richer product data set to be shared by all parties in the supply chain.
