What is the EPCglobal network service and how is it used with RFID?

What will be an ideal response?


To use barcodes, a business has to record in a database the item's UPC (bar code), the company's internal product number (SKU), a product description, the manufacturer's name, the price, and the quantity of items in stock. It then has to cross-reference the bar code and SKU so that this information can be accessed by the barcode readers at the cash register. With RFID, because the EPC already contains a reference to the manufacturer along with a product code, the need for manually entering data for cross-referencing is reduced; the potential for introducing errors when entering this information into the database is lessened as well.
