Use this application to persist events to an Electronic Product Code Information System (EPCIS).
EPCIS is a standard for storing and sharing RFID data. It is based on a standard maintained by the EPC Global organization. The EPCIS standard includes schemas for XML messages to deliver and query for RFID data. IBM® has implemented the EPCIS standard in a product named WebSphere® RFID Information Center.
One industry that has taken advantage of the EPCIS standard is pharmaceuticals. EPCIS is used to persist each read of a particular tagged pharmaceutical. The tag read histories can then be queried and used to build a document, called a pedigree, for the tagged item. The pedigree is used to verify the integrity of the pharmaceutical and prevent counterfeiting. The use of EPCIS is not limited to the pharmaceutical space; however, and is applicable to any RFID solution that uses persisted data, such as track and trace or asset monitoring.
For details on how to use the sample application, refer to WebSphere Premises Server Toolkit documentation that is installed with the toolkit.
