MET is the host server for EPCglobal Network™ EPCIS Validation Portal Self-testing Beta testing will begin next week (week of May 12th, 2008) on the eagerly anticipated EPCIS Validation Portal. This self-testing method of validating electronic product code (EPC) was previewed at the RFID Journal conference last month and also reviewed by EPCGlobal Joint Action Group (JAG), where it was well received. This portal provides a method to analyze a user's EPCIS data via the world wide web. A user signs up on-line, using a credit card (or offline payment through an EPC Member Organization) and then submits EPCIS data for testing. The system instantly analyzes the input data and report results, that can be printed out for future reference. The system checks for 68 types of errors, and provides a summary analysis of the input data, including:
- types of EPCIS events used
- vocabulary analysis
- location analysis
- EPC analysis
- extension fields analysis
In addition to validating the data meets EPCglobal standards, it will also verify that such data as Purchase Order number, date of arrival, any other pertinent business data is being read. MET hosts the server for this validation portal, and will assist in some administrative aspects and will assist in the interpretation of results is such service is requested.
MET Labs is the exclusive test lab of EPCglobal Inc., managing the joint Hardware Certification Program, the Software Certification Program, Performance Test Center Accreditation Program and the Approved RFID Testing Center (ARTC) Program. MET is the preferred test lab for validation of end-users RFID implementations and for customized RFID testing tailored to customer specifications.
MET Laboratories has been a pioneer in testing certification services and continues to be in the forefront of the standard's industry with deep expertise in helping manufacturers of wireless and radio devices go to market. More about MET's wireless testing. |
