EPC Global Gets New Chief

Filed in archive RFID Basics on August 9, 2004

EPC Global, an industry association helping lead the way for adoption of RFID in the retail industry, now has a new president.

Chris Adcock, a former executive with Gillette, takes over the helm at a critical time, according to a news article in RFID Journal:

"The organization is working aggressively to create a second-generation global standard for EPC systems operating in the UHF spectrum. It is also working to develop standards for the EPCglobal Network (the global system that will allow companies to use EPC technology to track and share supply chain information), to promote EPC technology outside of its roots in the consumer packaged goods and retail industries, and to prove there is a business case for adopting EPC technologies."

I've pointed out before the list of FAQs on the EPCGlobal website. They are worth taking a look at. There is information about the EPCGlobal organization and mission. But there is also general information about RFID and EPC technologies. It looks like the list of FAQs is increasing, so even if you've taken a look once before, have another look.
