Aerospace & Defense Industry action groupAerospace & Defense Industry Action
Group is focused on facilitating the industry adoption of EPC-based
technologies throughout its supply chains with the intent of increasing
object visibility, integrity, safety of equipment and personnel, operational
readiness & efficiency, security of consumers & operators, and
efficient movement that result from unique identification and secure
information exchange. This meeting will address these requirements
specifically around Data Exchange, Tag Performance, Global Operability, and
Education and Awareness. consumer electronics industry action group
The group will discuss the high-level business
processes and use cases developed for specific CE industry needs. CE industry
requirements which could potentially lead to the amendment of existing
EPCglobal standards will be presented. The meeting will also provide industry
representatives with the opportunity to discuss real world business
challenges that can be solved using EPC and RFID technology based upon
EPCglobal standards. EPCIS Core Business Vocabulary Work Group
This SAG work group is developing a
standard business vocabulary for use in event data sharing (EPCIS) This
business vocabulary will be critical to the successful usage of EPCIS as it
is the common "language" that trading partners will use to ensure that data
captured when a business event occurs can be shared effectively. The
requirements for this standard originated in the Data Exchange Joint
Requirements Group and have been passed to this group as part of the
EPCglobal Standards Development Process. new member orientation & standards development process overviewA bird's eye view of the EPCglobal Standards
Development Process, an introduction to EPCglobal, our website and the
standards development groups. EPC/RFID Community Web platformEPCglobal will prototype a Wikipedia
type platform for integration into the EPCglobal.org website. Those
interested in participating in the prototype phase should attend as well as
those interested in providing input to the development of this
tool. learnings from the bridge programmeBRIDGE (Building Radio Frequency
IDentification for the Global Environment) is a European Union funded 3-year
Integrated Project addressing ways to resolve the barriers to the
implementation of RFID in Europe, based upon GS1 EPCglobal standards. During
this JAG session, we will present the latest progress of the BRIDGE project,
focusing on the lessons learnt from some of the BRIDGE pilots. Education and
dissemination tools developed within the project will also be presented,
including a portable demonstration and a complete programme of
E-learning. Transportation & Logistics Services Chain of Custody Task GroupDiscuss data Security / physical
security; Security initiatives 10+2 Ctpat, CSI; Combination of business and
identification data (logical, physical, and AutoID). Session work is planned
as follows: Transportation & Logistics Services outreach task group
The objective of the Transportation and
Logistics Outreach Task Group to identify benefits of EPC/RFID in the
transportation and logistics environment and develop a program to increase
awareness of EPCglobal goals and objectives. Come to this session to learn
more about the group's current focus and activities. Transportation & Logistics Services Transportation Work groupThe Transportation Work Group will work
towards the successful deployment of RFID utilizing the EPCglobal Network in
supply chain applications. Session work is planned as
follows: Book Industry discussion (private for gs1 Member Organization only)One of the key questions to be resolved
is the technical integration of the ISBN numbering into EPC, which requires
alignment within GS1 prior to sharing the question with Users. For this
reason, attendance is limited to GS1 MO Staff. Intro
to EPCglobal Architecture & Interface standards, Software & Hardware
Demos
The EPCglobal community has created
numerous standards and outlined an IT architecture framework to enable
companies to share EPC data in a common and secure format. This session will
explain the standards that have been ratified, the overall architecture in
which they are implemented and how companies can use EPC standards and the
architecture to improve their supply chain. Requirements to attend: EPCglobal Subscribers and Guests certification advisory council
Purpose is to advice and provide input
to the certification program. It is open to all subscribers. The main topics
covered at this session will be: Program Updates, Relaunch, Complaint
Process. tag data translation standard work groupThis session will now be open to all
subscribers and guests to discuss latest improvements to TDS 1.5: User
Memory, TID Memory, better alignment with General Specification, and filter
bits. Transportation & Logistics Services pilot task group
