Abstract:
EPCglobal has provided a standard layered architecture built around the EPC (Electronic Product Code) for the global RFID data sharing. Among these layers, EPCIS (EPC Information Service) plays an important role for tracing and tracking individual items. However, there is no well-known solution for testing EPCIS. In this paper, we propose a performance evaluation tool for EPCIS. This tool provides fast data insertion method, rapid test data generation method, and performance evaluation method. Finally, we performed experiments to analyze our tools’ test data generation speed. Through these functions, our suggested tool can generate a large number of EPCIS event data rapidly, almost 40 times faster than existing tools.
