The document summarizes a simulation of an electronic pedigree (ePedigree) system using RFID and EPCIS standards. It discusses how the system tracks pharmaceutical products through the supply chain from manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer. Key events like shipping and receiving are recorded on an EPCIS repository to build the product's pedigree. The presentation covers the technical implementation using RFID readers, barcode scanners, databases and digital signatures to capture supply chain events and trace products.

2. Introduction
 Electronic Product Code Information Services
 EPCIS project is a sample simulation based on the
EPCIS global standards
 VB.NET application designed to illustrate the use of
the ePedigree among the trading partners
 Technologies such as VB.Net, Java, My SQL, XML and
X.509 RSA encryption is used.

3. Agenda
 RFID Technology
 Overview of the project EPCIS
 Process of data flow in EPCIS
 ePedigree
 Pros and cons
 QA

4. RFID Tag
 HF
 UHF

5. Overview
 Three separate states in the supply chain
 Focused on the pharmaceutical products
 Transfers between the manufacturer, wholesaler and
retailer are observed and specific details are captured
as according to the standards

8. Structure of the solutions
 An EPCIS Repository implementation (originally from
Fosstrak)
 Repository is hosted in the Apache tomcat web service, uses
the MySQL as a backend database connected by JDBC
connector.
 An interactive EPCIS Capture Application (developed
in VB.Net)
 Connect and use three different UHF and HF readers
(Omron, Mercury) as well as use of the barcode scanner to
operate in as input devices.
 An interactive EPCIS Query Application (developed in
VB.Net)
