ID Technology Joins the EPCglobal Organization
July 22, 2004
Fort Worth, TX - ID Technology, a leader in the Labeling, Coding and Marking industry, announced today it has joined the EPCglobal Organization. EPCglobal is a joint venture between EAN International and the Uniformed Code Council (UCC), were formed to promote the global adoption and implementation of the Electronic Product Code (EPC) Network.
"Being an EPCglobal Partner allows ID Technology to provide our customers with the most current information and compliance issues in the field of RFID" said Alan Shipman, Vice President of ID Technology, "in addition, our membership provides access to education and training on the implementation of EPC and the EPC Network, along with access to certification and compliance testing."
EPCglobal is leading the development of industry-driven standards for the Electronic Product Code (EPC) Network to support the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in today's fast-moving, information rich trading networks. EPC can potentially be used on many everyday consumer products as they move through the supply chain - from factories through distribution centers and into retail stores. As EPC evolves, it promises to offer significant benefits to consumers and companies. The improved information in the supply chain will help speed products to the shelf and insure they are available when consumers want and in the quantities they need. Removal of expired products will be easier, and prompt removal of any recalled product will be facilitated. In addition, checkout times for customers could be significantly shortened.
"ID Technology's commitment to our customers has always been to stay on the leading edge of innovation" said Robert Zuilhof, President of ID Technology, "and our membership in EPCglobal delivers not only access to information, but also a place at the table to provide direct and comprehensive input to the process."
