Electronic Product Code (EPC)

The Electronic Product Code (EPC) is a unique identifier used in RFID technology to distinguish individual items in supply chains. Think of it as a digital fingerprint for products, allowing organizations to track and manage inventory efficiently. When an RFID tag with an EPC is read by a scanner, it reveals specific information about that item, such as its type, origin, or batch. This system enhances transparency, reduces errors, and improves logistics by enabling automatic, real-time identification of products without the need for manual scanning or barcodes.
