Electronic Product Code (EPC)
sponsored by Zebra Technologies Corporation
Product Description
The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is a new product numbering standard under development by the Uniform Code Council (UCC) that can be used to identify a variety of items using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The 96-bit EPC code links to an online database, providing a secure way of sharing product-specific information along the supply chain.

Like other RFID solutions, the EPC's ability to be read without a line-of-sight offers users significant timesavings. This is further enhanced by the ability to update information automatically to the EPC's online database -- identifying where and when a case or pallet of goods arrived, for example -- in supply chain logistics applications.
