The Importance of EPCIS in Supply Chain Flexibility and Scalability

EPCIS 2.0 is the GS1 standard for supply-chain event data, and epcis.dev is a capture gateway for it: post an event and the door validates it against GS1's own schema, stamps who captured it, hashes it by CBV 2.0, and appends. That is the ground the topic above stands on.

The part epcis.dev makes concrete is validation. Every event is machine-checked against the official GS1 EPCIS 2.0 JSON schema before it is accepted, and a capture that does not validate is refused as application/problem+json carrying the standard's own exception types, not a vendor error string.

The same door answers people and agents. Capture, query, get_event, trace_epc and translate are exposed over MCP, so a logistics agent captures and queries with the same key a person would use, without a human copying values between two systems.

Build state, 29 July 2026. The capture gateway is written and its conformance tests pass against GS1's normative artefacts. Nothing is hosted yet: there is no public endpoint, no key to hold, and no account to open. Today the interface answers on your own machine under wrangler dev; the full ledger is at What ships today.
