It would also become significant in product recalls and theft prevention.

He will have responsibility for the co-ordination and progression of RFID business, including the EPC, throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Williams commented: "The EPC Global testing is very significant as it demonstrates that the implementation of EPCs within global commerce is becoming a reality.
Passing the tests, endorses Zebra Technologies commitment to the further development and implementation of EPC and RFID technologies." Prior to his time at Zebra, Williams, a qualified mechanical engineer, spent many years at both Eltron and Domino Printing services.
