EPC / IOT

The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is a globally unique serial number that identifies an item in the supply chain. This allows enquiries to be made about a single instance of an item, wherever it is within the supply chain.

Electronic Product Code (EPC)

Like many current numbering schemes used in commerce, the EPC is divided into numbers that identify the manufacturer and product type. But, the EPC uses an extra set of digits, a serial number, to identify unique items.

  • Header, which identifies the length, type, structure, version and generation of EPC
  • Manager Number, which identifies the company or company entity
  • Object Class, similar to a stock keeping unit or SKU
  • Serial Number, which is the specific instance of the Object Class being tagged

Additional fields may also be used as part of the EPC in order to properly encode and decode information from different numbering systems into their native (human-readable) forms.
