The GS1 standard for sharing what happened to a product — what, when, where, why — as machine-readable events across every hand it passes through.
EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services) defines a shared vocabulary for supply-chain events: commissioned, packed, shipped, received, transformed. Version 2.0 modernizes it with JSON/JSON-LD and a REST API, making events web-native.
Each event answers four questions — what objects, when, where, and why (the business step) — so independent systems can reconstruct a product's journey without sharing their internals.
US DSCSA interoperability and EU FMD verification both depend on trading partners exchanging serialized event data in a common format.
A shared event vocabulary means manufacturers, 3PLs, wholesalers, and dispensers interoperate by conforming to the standard — not by building point-to-point integrations.
JSON-LD events and REST APIs make EPCIS practical for cloud platforms and lightweight partners, not just enterprise middleware.
AstraTrace ingests EPCIS 2.0 events and anchors them in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail — visibility a regulator can trust, not just a database a party controls.
Serialized event streams become supply-chain intelligence: cold-chain compliance, risk analytics, and anomaly detection across every route in the network.
Events link to the same verified product record that labelling and verification use — one identity across the platform.
