Application research of EPC network in reverse logistics

With the rapidly development of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) technology in recent years, the cost of deploying massively wireless radio frequency identification device is lower and lower. RFID technology is applied widely in manufacture, retail and logistic industry. The EPC (Electronic Product Code) Network, advocated by international organization, EPCglobal Inc., is the standard frame of RFID application. The EPC Network combines RFID technology and Internet and constructs a Internet of Things globally. The paper introduces the architecture of EPC Network, analyzes the reverse logistic process of a company, and proposes a new scenario based on RFID technology and EPC Network, and implements EPC Information Service system related to the scenario.
