 SmartCode™ Corp. EPC Class 1 RFID Labels are Ultra-thin
Transponders based on polymer tape substrate (PVC, PC or PET-G) and delivered in reels. The
Inlays can be embedded between layers of laminated paper or plastic foil
to create inexpensive pallet/case label, product labels, tickets and
airline baggage labels.
EPC CLASS 1 - THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
EPC Class 1 Tags are Write Once Ream Many (WORM),
this means the tag can be programmed one time only. The advantage
of EPC Class 1 is extremely important for enabling the original
manufacturer to program the EPC Tag during the manufacturing
process.

SmartCode™ Corp. EPC Class 1 Tags enable CPG manufacturers
and retailers to receive ready to use EPC Tags, however, unlike other EPC
classes, the manufacturer can decide in real time how to program
the EPC Tag. Given the large number of different products produced by each
manufacturer, SmartCode Corp. EPC Class 1 Tags enable a full control of the
Tag programming.
SmartCode™ Corp. EPC Class 1 Tags offer a valuable advantage
over other EPC Protocols as the EPC Class 1 Tags can be purchased in large
quantities and be used on a variety of different products. Other types of EPC
Classes require
the CPG manufacturer to order a separate programmed Tag for each
product class.
FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE EPC STANDARD:
The Auto-ID Center has proposed EPC of 64-bits, 96-bits,
and 256-bits. The 96-bit number is the one that should be
most common. Selecting the 96-bit was a compromise between the desire to
ensure that all objects have a unique EPC and the need to keep the cost of the
tag down. The 96-bit EPC provides unique identifiers for 268 million
companies. Each manufacturer can have 16 million object classes and 68 billion
serial numbers in each class, more than enough to cover all products
manufactured worldwide for years to come. Since there is no need for that many
serial numbers at this time, was proposed an interim 64-bit code. The smaller
code will help keep the price of the RFID chips down initially, while
providing more than enough unique EPC for current needs.

EPCglobal is currently finalizing the EPC
Generation 2 which will include additional features such as 96 bit
EPC numbering, international frequency support and improved
security. The new EPC G2™ will be fully supported by
SmartCode™ Corp.
as soon as the standard is finalized. The new EPC G2™ means a true global standard for EPC to be used around the globe. |
