EPC stands for Electronic Product Code, which is a unique identifier assigned to a specific product or item. In RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, an EPC is stored on an RFID tag, which can be read by an RFID reader.
The EPC is made up of several parts, including a header that identifies the format of the EPC, a unique identifier for the product or item, and a checksum to ensure data integrity. The EPC can be used to track the movement of products through the supply chain, from manufacturing to retail.
EPCs are commonly used in retail, logistics, and other industries to improve inventory management, reduce product loss and theft, and streamline supply chain operations.
