How does EPCIS describe what happened to a product? Episode 3 of “EPCIS Explained” walks through the five EPCIS event types: ObjectEvent, AggregationEvent, TransactionEvent, TransformationEvent and AssociationEvent.

Aravinda Baliga and Sven Böckelmann from benelog follow one product from raw materials to the shop, explain the action attribute, clear up the common mix-up between aggregation and association and show that lot-based tracking works without serial numbers. A short checklist helps you pick the right event type. In a live demo, they build the whole journey in the free OpenEPCIS Event Data Designer. Next up: CBV and master data.
