The Electronic Product Code, (EPC), is a family of coding schemes for Gen 2 RFID tags. It is designed to meet the needs of various industries, whilst guaranteeing uniqueness for all EPC-compliant tags. The EPC accommodates existing coding schemes and defines new schemes where necessary. The EPC was the creation of the MIT Auto-ID Center, a consortium of over 120 global corporations and university labs. The EPC system is currently managed by EPCglobal, Inc., a subsidiary of GS1, creators of the UPC barcode. The Electronic Product Code promises to become the standard for global RFID usage, and a core element of the proposed EPCglobal Network
