* * * * * * * * * * * In this topic we will explain to you the purpose of the Electronic Product Code and how the EPC is designed to include different coding schemes * The Electronic Product Code is used as a unique item identifier and a pointer to information. In the following screens, the two different functions of the EPC are described. * The Electronic Product Code identifies each individual item since it contains a serialisation - a unique number allocated to each occurrence of the item. As an example, a pallet of trade item A will have a different EPC from another pallet of trade item A. The coding scheme is organised in such a way that companies can allocate numbers that are globally unique. * The Electronic Product Code is a key to information contained in IT systems. It enables the retrieval of item information. Information can be about the movements of the item or static production related data or master data. The master data is stored in the Global Data Synchronisation Network.
