On-Demand Webinars (EPC Item Level Readiness or EPC Essentials Subscribers Only)

• Barcode & RFID Convergence: Enabling Greater Visibility Through Standards
  Deciding between barcodes and radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to manage your inventory and track items in the supply chain is not an either/or proposition. In this webinar, VDC Research explains how more and more organizations are using these two data carriers together–enabling them to continue to meet existing requirements while benefiting from increased visibility from RFID.
• Using EPC-Enabled RFID Investments for Internal Benefit
  Learn why more and more organizations are using their initial investments in RFID technology and the GS1 System to improve their internal processes through better visibility.
• An Introduction to Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS)
  An overview of EPCIS, which provides serial-level master data and event data about serialized objects.

• Item Level EPC
  This webinar will provide an overview of RFID technology, describe the business cases for implementation of RFID, moving beyond compliance–and identify concerns suppliers may have as they begin an RFID project based on a retailer request to tag product.
