EPC-IS (Information Services) Standard

The EPC-IS infrastructure allows for he seamless, secure exchange of information at every point in the life-cycle of goods in the supply chain.

The EPC-IS standard enables a single way to capture and share information, while still allowing the flexibility for industry and organization-specific implementations. The specification supports powerful business cases and consumer benefits such as container tracking, product authentication, promotions management, baggage tracking, electronic proof of delivery, chain of custody, returns management, and operations management.

EPCIS is the foundational specification for capturing very granular event information across and within organizations. It is anticipated that EPCIS will be built upon, with additional end user and community use cases serving as the driver for enhanced data sharing models.
