  1. Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Rudolf Behrens Division Manager ECR Process Management Centrale für Coorganisation GmbHMaarweg 133, 50825 Cologne November 27th 2003

  2. Agenda • Status ECR D-A-CH Project Team • Results of the RFID-Questionnaire • International Framework (Extract) • EPCglobal • EPC - Number and Network • Organisational Structure • Wal Mart - Starting EPC

  3. Status D-A-CH Project • RFID Questionnaire finished in October 2003 • Meeting at 10th of November 2003 of ECR D-A-CH Project team “Process Changes by RFID” • Joint Meeting with the more technology oriented CCG Project team “RFID” • Informing and discussing about the current international developments, e.g. • EPCglobal • Decision to restructure the project organisation reflecting the international framework

  4. Next Steps D-A-CH project • Adapting current working structures reflecting national and international requirements • until January 2004 • Co-operation within the most important User Action Groups (UAG) • Support RFID pilots (e.g. European adoption program) • Finalise standardisation of tag data content as starting position of process adoption

  5. Results of the RFID-Questionnaire ECR Europe National Initiatives

  6. RFID - Questionnaire • Background and objective • Decision of National Initiatives, 04th of September 2003 • Overview of the RFID activities of ECR Europe National Initiatives • Period • October 2003 • Participation • 10 from 18 Initiatives (without D-A-CH) • Denmark • France • Spain • Great Britain • Ireland • Norway • Finland • Netherlands • Greece • Sweden

  7. Summary • RFID activities: • Monitoring the development in general and the working of other organisations (especially GCI and EAN International) • Informing the members of the national ECR initiative • Researching projects / pilots are only established in few countries (or unknown) • Co-operation with scientific organisations regarding RFID not established in many countries • Few contacts with government • A European RFID project will be appreciated by some national initiatives

  8. Summary regarding countries • Spain • No activities in the national initiative • Further activities in Spain: • EAN Spain (AECOC) - ePC consulting, information, publication • Research project of the “Catalan research foundation” - content not defined yet • Contacts to the ministry of science and technology • UK (IGD) • In scope of the ECR initiative / IGD - research regarding RFID • Commitment by EAN UK (e-centre) • No contact to ministries / organisations in connection with RFID

  9. Summary regarding countries • Ireland • No activities in the national initiative • RFID as an aspect in the survey “Measuring the Impact of ECR in the Irish Market Place” Dublin Institute of Technology (2004) • France • No activities in the national initiative • Orientation on the GCI EPC group • Finnland • No activities in the national initiative • Activities by EAN Finnland • National aided program - RFID feasibility study • Planning contacts to ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute)

  10. Summary regarding countries • Norway • No activities • Monitoring, waiting for developments of ECR-Europe • Greece • No activities in the national initiative • Further activities: research, retailers and manufacturers consider to invest in RFID-technology • Support programs: • national: secretariat for research and technology • EU - in the scope of Information society programme • Research project (pilot): MyGrocer (Store of the Future) • January 2001 / November 2002 • Participants: Atlantic Supermarktes / Procter & Gamble Greece • Supported by EU / IST

  11. Summary regarding countries • Sweden • Activities planned for 2004 • Willingness for co-operation on European level • Netherlands • ECR is permanently informed through experts • Summary and translation of ECR-D-A-CH brochure • Further activities by EAN Netherlands • Research program: University of Wageningen / ATO (Agrotechnological Research Institute) - temperature measuring by fruits and vegetables • Denmark • Monitoring, waiting for developments of ECR-Europe

  12. Is this all? Questionnaire completed? Next steps?

  13. International Framework(Extract)

Extract: International Framework EPC Global incl. various Working Groups GCI EPC Group GSMP development Co-operation National Administration Promotion European Adaption Program ECR Europe CCG leadership EPC Global National Structure National Initiatives EAN West RFID-project leadership leadership ECR D-A-CH RFID Competence-Center Co-ordination co-ordination Academic Partnership Ministry of research and development Government Aid

  15. EPC Global(Organisational Structure)

  16. What is EPC • A network • A numbering concept, that is able to identify all units

  17. EPC-Number • EPC = serial identification number In discussion: = GTIN + serial number = Serial Shipping Container Code = further EAN number identifications GTIN/SSCC EPC-Nummer

  18. EPC-Number (draft) • 96- and 64-Bit-variants • Header = EAN•UCC indicator • EAN (NVE, GRAI ...) follow as data • EPC-Manager = EAN•UCC basis number • Object class = object reference Header EPC Manager Object Class Serial Number

  19. etc. Automotive sector EPC-Branchenansatz Defense sector FMCG EPC-Number (draft) • Further numbering systems then EAN.UCC will be accepted by EPC in different formats: • Automotive sector • Defence sector • ...

  20. Object Name Service (ONS) Informa- tion of product EPC EPC - Communication network

  21. Internet Product information (PML) ONS RF Übertragung Open system (Savant network) Physical object with EPC labell Reader Operational systems EPC - Communication network Electronic Product Code (EPC)Each object has an exact identification number ReaderReader detect RFID-Chips with radio frequency waves, which send back the EPC Object Name Server (ONS)A Server detects the EPC through the Middleware and gets the connection to the internet to receive further information. The Software Savant acts as the nerve system of the new network Physical Mark-Up Language (PML)Information to every product, important characteristics + product category, will be send in PML which bases on XML 3 1 4 2 1 2 3 4
