13. © 2010 GS1 Creating value together with global standards EPCIS Data EPC Events answer 4 questions What, Where, When, and Why EPCIS –Introduction, Presented at Paris JAG Meeting in 2007 What EPC number (can leverage master data -GTIN) Manufacturing Data (lot, batch, expiration date) Transactional Data (PO, Shipment, Invoice) Where Location (can be fixed or moving –leverage master data - GLN) When Event Time Record Time Why Business Process Step –e.g.: Receiving, Shipping Product State –e.g.: Saleable, Active, In Transit Current Conditions –e.g.: Temperature (thru industry extensions) The EPCIS standard enables extending event data in each direction

14. © 2010 GS1 Creating value together with global standards Fosstrak (formerly Accada) Free and Open-Source Software for Track and Trace Objective: Provide core components for EPC Network applications Educate EPC Network users Drive adoption Initiated by the Auto-ID Lab Switzerland / ETH Zurich, but it is today an independent open source effort Contributions from Cambridge and MIT Auto-ID Labs

15. © 2010 GS1 Creating value together with global standards Fosstrak EPCIS is EPCglobal Certified

16. © 2010 GS1 Creating value together with global standards Fosstrak Usage Scenarios Embed our EPCIS Repository into your own applications to add an EPCIS interface to it Interactively explore any EPCIS Repository using our graphical EPCIS Query Application Use our EPCIS accessing applications as a blueprint to build your own EPCIS Capture or Query Application

17. © 2010 GS1 Creating value together with global standards Discovery Services (DS) Discovery= Finding and obtaining all relevant EPCIS data… …to which a party is authorized,… …when some of that data is under control of other parties with whom no prior business relationship exists A shared indexing service helps each party find its data Similar to Internet search engine...but with pro-active publishing, authentication and granular access control policies, so you keep control of your data
