Active involvement in EPCglobal workgroups • Why are we part of EPCglobal workgroups? • To understand the technical background • To follow the status of the actual development • To transfer know how-Transfer to our users • Which workgroups (extract)? • HAG HF Air Interface WG • JRG Tag Data • Software Action Group • Packaging Discussion Group • EAP and EEP • We bring EPCglobal WG’s to Austria • HF-AI (2006) • EAP (European Adoption Program) 25.10.2007

Some projects • Track and Trace of steel coils
Some projects • Test of new material for returnable crates (Polyethylene vs. Polypropylene)
Some projects • Track and Trace of trucks and railway cars
Outlook and next steps • No massive implementation of RFID/EPC in “open loops” expected for the next 12-18 months • Some Austrian suppliers are part of the METRO and REWE roll-out in Germany • We see very successful implementations in “closed loops” like tagging of RTIs • Next steps for GS1 Austria • Further rollout of our RFID/EPCglobal Test CENTER • Promotion of EPCIS
