EPC Standards EPC System elements: • EPC Coding structure • The reader/ tag Protocols • Savant platform • The Object Numbering Service (ONS) • PML server
EPC Standards (cont.) • UPC = Universal Product Code • a unique code for every group of objects • enables user such as supermarkets to identify every product • two cans of Nestlé coffees have the same UPC
EPC Standards (cont.) • EPC = Electronic Product Code next generation barcode coding scheme to electronically identify consumer goods • vision: enable the automated, unique identification of tagged objects developed by EPCglobal (EAN, UCC) EPC consists of :UPC + serial number = 96 bits
ISO 18000 vs EPC • ISO 18000-6 and EPC, both specify UHF frequencies • ISO 18000-6 specifies Air Interface protocol without considering basic structures such as network technology and IT platforms etc. • ISO 18000-6 and EPC Tags will be compatible in the long run. 。
Tags available HF Tags – 13.56 MHz UHF Tags – 860 to 960 MHz • ISO 15693 • ISO 14443 A • ISO 14443 B • ISO 18000 P3 • EPC HF • EPC Class 0/0+ • EPC Class 1 • EPC Class 1 Gen 2 • ISO 18000-6 • U-Code 1.19
Typical UHF tags EPC Class 1 • IC Properties - 96 bit EPC R/W - UHF frequencies from 860MHz to 960MHz - Data transfer rate - To the tag 15 to 70 kbits/s - From the tag 30 to 140kbit/s - More than 10 000 write/erase cycles - 40 year data retention - Kill command
Typical UHF tags (cont.) Philips U-Code EPC 1.19 • IC Properties - Memory - Supports 64 bit and 96 bit EPC - 256 bit user memory - persistent ID flag - UHF frequencies from 860MHz to 960MHz - Data transfer rate - Reader to tag 40kbits/s - Tag to reader 40kbits/s to 160kbits/s - depending on the regulatory area and amount of tags in reader field
