EPC coding and blockchain
EPC coding principle: uniqueness, simplicity, scalability, confidentiality and security
EPC coding concerns: manufacturers and procts, embedded information, classification, batch proct coding, carrier
EPC coding structure:
EPC coding data structure standard specifies the characteristics and format of EPC data structure, as well as the conversion mode between GTIN, SSCC, Gln, grai, Giai, GSRN, NPC and EPC coding in the existing ean.ucc system. EPC coding data structure standard is applicable to information processing and information exchange of procts (goods, trade items, assets, location, etc.) and services in all links of global and domestic logistics supply chain
EPC, as a unified coding identifier (URI), has the following encoding specification:
urn: EPC: ID: scheme: component1.component2
where scheme is the name of EPC compatible coding scheme, and component1, component2... Are the specific coding components under this coding scheme
for example, urn:epc :id: sgtin:0614141.112345.400 The EPC code represents the URI of the global trade proct code sgtin 061414112345400, where component1 represents the GS1 company prefix of sgtin, and the value is 0614141; Component2 represents the item reference, and the value is 112345; Component3 represents the serial number and the value is 400
EPC code consists of header, manufacturer identification code, object classification code, serial number and other data fields
header to identify the length, type, structure and version number of EPC; Manufacturer identification code, identifying the company or business entity; Object classification code, similar to SKU; Serial number, a special case of tagged object class
EPC coding types are divided into epc-64 type and epc-96 type

extended materials
in order to realize single item identification, in 1999, the auto ID center of Massachusetts Institute of technology developed EPC, which aims to provide a unique number EPC code for each single item, and construct an Internet of things to realize real-time sharing of global item information by using RFID technology
The foundation ofEPC coding is ean.ucc, and it is expanded on ean.ucc. According to ean.ucc system, EPC coding system is divided into five types: sgtin, sgln, SSCC, GRA and Giai
The URI format ofEPC can be well used in information system, but it is not convenient to use such a long encoding in tag. Therefore, EPC coding also includes the binary coding format suitable for label form, and the conversion method between URI format and binary format
EPC code can provide unique identification for all entities, identify different fields through different fields, scan RFID tags pasted on the surface of the object, then you can know the information and flow direction of the object, and identify the object in the computer network, so as to realize the information transmission and object tracking
The construction ofEPC coding system can be used for reference to the coding integration of each unit and province, and the unification of physical space and information space coding
compression:
lossless compression coding types
Huffman coding
arithmetic coding
run length coding
Lempel ZEV coding
(2) lossy compression coding types
prediction coding: DPCM, motion compensation frequency domain method: text transform coding (such as DCT), Subband coding
spatial domain method: statistical block coding
model method: fractal coding, model-based coding
based on importance: filtering, sub sampling, bit allocation, vector quantization
information compression method, also known as lossy compression, distortion coding or entropy compression coding
How to implement EPC? We can prepare for this technology from now on. Fundamentally speaking, the implementation of EPC needs to take three steps: 1
2. Join EPCglobal and make full use of the valuable opportunities provided by EPC network to cooperate with trading partners
3. Start to share your implementation plan with your trading partners so that they can plan and modify accordingly
companies interested in joining EPCglobal can contact ean member organizations (MO) in their countries. The only representative of EPCglobal in the people's Republic of China is EPCglobal China, which is responsible for the registration, management and standardization of EPCglobal EPC in China, the promotion of EPC system, the provision of technical support and the training of EPC system users. Enterprises can join as end users or senior members, and can participate in all behavior groups
what enterprises need to apply? EPCglobal will assign EPC manufacturer identification code to the member enterprises who join EPCglobal as end users once they apply
If an enterprise wants to assign EPC codes to objects that need to be shared with external trading partners, it needs EPC manufacturer identification codes assigned by EPCglobal. The software and hardware of EPCglobal network must comply with EPCglobal standard data protocol
What are the solution providers? How to cooperate with it? By becoming a member of EPCglobal, the company can access a service network of solution providers, manufacturers, consultants and EPC network. EPCglobal compliance and certification process is based on global market driven standards. EPCglobal will provide test suite and management software (conformance, interoperability and performance of tagged indivials) and hardware (performance of tagged containers / pallets) testing to help members select vendors and make other implementation decisions. Yes, I will. EPCglobal members have the right to convert the original ean · UCC manufacturer identification code into EPC manufacturer identification code
