For all examples given in this section, you can use the Loftware RFID Calculator to help you verify the encoded
data. Encoding and decoding examples of using this tool are provided in this guide.
Refer to the Serialized Global Trade Identification Number (SGTIN) section for explanation of the EPC fields on
this dialog.
Example 4 - 64 Bit SGTIN
This is an example of 64 bit tags calculated from Company Prefix Index, Item Reference, and Serial
Number.Because of the limited data size, GTIN cannot be embedded in 64-bit SGTIN. Instead, a
Company Prefix Index is supplied.
Note: This example cannot be used with Class 1 Generation 2 (C1G2) tag types. Generation 2 tags require a 96-
bit EPC identifier. Use 96-bit encoding examples with C1G2 tags.
In this example, you must supply a Company Prefix Index.This is assigned to you by GS1 as described
in the specifications. This prefix is static and does not change. The Item Reference and Serial Number
fields are set to obtain their data from fields that are on the label. Sample data is included if you wish to
just follow along with the example.
Rather than creating placeholders for data, you may simply send the appropriate data to the fields using
the Keyboard data source. You can also enter the values directly into the Data column after selecting a
Fixed data source from the EPC Configuration dialog, and this is also demonstrated in this example.
1. Load (or design) the RFID Smart Label.
2. Add variable text fields that contain values for the Item Reference and Serial Number.Set the data
sources for each to Keyboard. You can add any of the fields on the toolbox (except another RFID
field). In addition, variable text fields can obtain data from all available data sources.
3. Double click the RFID antenna icon. Alternatively, select and then right-click the RFID antenna
icon.From the popup menu, select Edit Data Source.
4. From the Data Source dialog, select Block Configuration, and then click Configure to launch the
Block Configuration dialog.
5. Select the UHF 64-bit Class 1 tag type.
6. For the EPC block, select EPC from the Data Source column.
7. Click in the Data cell to reveal the browse button (...).Click the browse button (...) to access the
EPC Configuration dialog.
8. Set the EPC Encoding Type property to SGTIN-64.
9. Set the Filter Value (assigned by you as the supplier) to denote packaging level. In this example,
select the Choice Data Source, and select 0 from the Data drop-down list.
