About the API: 

Introducing the EPC Decoder API, a game-changing tool designed to unlock the potential of Electronic Product Codes (EPC). Built following the GS1 EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS) 1.13, this API provides seamless translation and decoding capabilities for EPCs, empowering businesses to effectively track and manage their products throughout the supply chain.

An EPC, or Electronic Product Code, serves as a unique identification number assigned to a product or item. Similar to a barcode, it plays a crucial role in supply chain management and inventory systems, particularly when utilizing RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. EPCs enable businesses to track and identify products as they move through the supply chain, from manufacturing to retail. They provide valuable insights into inventory levels, product location, and other essential data points.

The EPC Decoder API serves as a powerful translation tool, seamlessly converting valid EPCs into their corresponding Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and serial numbers. By leveraging Application Identifiers AI 01 and AI 21, the API decodes and extracts precise information embedded within the EPC, enabling businesses to gain a deeper understanding of their products' unique identifiers.

With the EPC Decoder API, businesses can streamline supply chain operations and enhance inventory management. By accurately translating EPCs into GTINs and serial numbers, organizations can track products with precision, monitor stock levels, and optimize inventory replenishment processes. This results in improved operational efficiency, reduced carrying costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Integration with the EPC Decoder API is seamless, allowing businesses to incorporate decoding functionality into their existing systems and applications effortlessly. Whether you're a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer, this API provides a user-friendly and reliable solution for unlocking the valuable information encoded within EPCs.

Data integrity and security are paramount when working with sensitive supply chain information. The EPC Decoder API prioritizes data protection, employing robust security measures to safeguard valuable EPC data. Businesses can confidently leverage the power of EPCs without compromising on data privacy or integrity.

In summary, the EPC Decoder API empowers businesses to harness the full potential of EPCs. By accurately decoding and translating EPCs into GTINs and serial numbers, this API enables precise tracking, efficient inventory management, and enhanced supply chain visibility. Embrace the power of EPC decoding and optimize your supply chain processes with the EPC Decoder API.

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?
