New Standard Advances Value Of RFID

"In a move toward improving the value of radio-frequency technology to businesses, the nonprofit standards organization EPCglobal Inc. this week approved a new development standard for software that's used within RFID-enabled supply chains. EPC GlobalNet's royalty-free Application Level Events standard defines the process to collect, manage, and route data that electronic product code technology generates in the supply chain. Software that follows the standard should be more interoperable with other systems and software, creating fewer data-collection headaches for businesses. It's the first standard to come out of the EPCglobal Software Action Group, which consists of more than 100 companies." Source: informationweek.com
