Organisation pioneers initiatives such as pilot programmes in the Pearl River Delta to create common standards

EPCglobal Hong Kong is leading the drive to make radio frequency identification (RFID) technology the tool of choice in the next generation of supply chain management solutions.

Anna Lin, GSI Hong Kong and EPCglobal Hong Kong chief executive, said the organisation was pioneering initiatives to create common standards for the use of RFID through the EPCglobal Network.

EPCglobal Hong Kong, the local representative body of the global organisation, has the largest membership base in Asia, with more than 30 technology partners, including hardware and software providers, consulting companies and system integrators.

RFID technology is a wireless system that allows a product of any size to be tracked using tiny computer chips smaller than a grain of sand attached or incorporated into a product and read by a remote antenna.

Using the EPCglobal Network system, products can be tracked using real-time events and information relayed through EPC Information Services or a member firm's existing information systems.
