What is Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS)?

Modified on Fri, 30 May at 4:51 PM

EPCIS is a GS1 Standard for Visibility Data. EPCIS data consists of events, each of which is a record of something that happened to the object in the real world. 


EPCIS data is used to track and trace products, assets, documents, and other things as they move through a business process, especially a business process that spans multiple physical locations and multiple organizations. 


With the release 2.0 EPCIS also allows for providing information on the status of an object, such as temperature, shocks or other effects. 


An EPCIS event records what was involved in a business process step, when the event took place, where it took place, and in which business context that answers the question it occured (why).
