IBM and T3Ci have announced that they have completed interoperability testing of a new RFID industry software standard. The standard is designed to help better enable retailers, manufacturers and organizations throughout the supply chain to overcome information overload and share information to improve business processes.
This marks the first step toward delivering interoperability based on the Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS) for exchange and query of RFID data.
For organizations throughout the supply chain, this will deliver greater value by allowing them to inexpensively capture large volumes of detailed data at each stage of the supply chain and share that data among trading partners, said IBM.
The new EPCIS standards-based ability to query RFID data will provide organizations with near real-time RFID data from their trading partners, for the first time giving manufacturers access to the precise information they need.
EPCglobal's EPC Information Services standard is currently in the last call working draft and in pilot testing. EPCIS is expected to be a ratified standard by fourth quarter 2006.
