Description:
The goal of this session is to
help people understand, in layman’s terms, the RFID based EPC global network
in the context of today’s supply chain needs. To do this the session also
explains how RFID relates to bar codes and why RFID is being used. It also
explains the important fact that “Bar codes and EPCs will coexist for many
years to come.” In the words of the UCC and EPCglobal (the organizations
promoting the use of RFID in the supply chain)
After participating in this
session people will be able to discuss how and when either or both technologies
can benefit their company. They will also be better prepared to understand what
