The Joint Automotive Industry
(JAI), a collaborative initiative within the global automotive
industry whose members include Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), Japan Automotive Manufacturers Association (JAMA), Japan Auto Parts Industries Association (JAPIA), Odette International Limited,
and Standards for Technology in Automotive Retail (STAR), has
issued a global announcement rejecting the ePC standard for the automotive industry.
Odette further went on to say: "We are collectively not prepared to recommend the usage of ePC or give any endorsement to it and will always work towards open standards."
Like HIBCC, the
Automotive Industry's standards are based upon alphanumeric data
and open standard symbologies to maximize traceability and
minimize scanning errors.
