The existence and promotion of the GS1 EPC RFID standard has, in no small way, contributed to the wider adoption of RFID since 2005, particularly in the retail industry’s apparel and general-merchandise sectors. In this presentation, GS1 UK’s Markus Mueller will give an update on source tagging for apparel, as well as an outlook on what to expect from EPC RFID in the shoe sector. He will also provide an introduction to the Tagged Item Performance Protocol (TIPP) grading system.
