Esikhathini lapho abathengi bekwazisa kakhulu ukucaca mayelana nemvelaphi yomkhiqizo, inqubo yonke yokukhiqiza, nokuthi banamasheya esitolo esiseduze noma cha, abathengisi bahlola izixazululo ezintsha nezintsha zokuhlangabezana nalokhu okulindelwe. Ubuchwepheshe obunye obunamandla amakhulu okufeza lokhu ukuhlonza imvamisa yomsakazo (RFID). Eminyakeni yamuva nje, uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka lubone izinkinga ezahlukahlukene, kusukela ekubambezelekeni okukhulu kuya ekushodeni kwezinto zokukhiqiza, futhi abathengisi badinga ikhambi elibanikeza ukucaca ukuze babone futhi babhekane nalezi zingqinamba. Ngokunikeza abasebenzi isithombe esicacile sempahla, ama-oda, kanye nokulethwa, banganikeza insizakalo engcono kumakhasimende futhi bathuthukise ulwazi lwabo lwesitolo. Njengoba ubuchwepheshe be-RFID buqhubeka nokuthuthuka futhi busetshenziswa kabanzi, abathengisi kuzo zonke izimboni eziningi sebeqalile ukusebenzisa amandla abo okuhlangabezana nokulindelwe ngabathengi nokuthuthukisa idumela lomkhiqizo wabo. Ubuchwepheshe be-RFID bungasiza yonke imikhiqizo ukuthola ubunikazi bomkhiqizo obuhlukile (obungamanga), obaziwa nangokuthi ipasipoti yomkhiqizo wedijithali. Ipulatifomu yefu esekelwe kuzinga le-EPCIS (i-Electronic Product Code Information Service) ingalandelela futhi ilandelele imvelaphi yomkhiqizo ngamunye futhi ihlole ukuthi ubunikazi bayo bungokoqobo yini. Ukuqinisekiswa kwedatha ngaphakathi kochungechunge lokuhlinzeka kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuxhumana okuqondile phakathi kwezimpahla namakhasimende. Yiqiniso, idatha ivame ukugcinwa esimweni esivaliwe. Ukusebenzisa amazinga afana ne-EPCIS, ukulandelelwa kweketanga lokuhlinzeka kungahlelwa futhi kwenziwe ngcono ukuze idatha esobala inikeze ubufakazi obungabiwa bomsuka womkhiqizo. Ngenkathi abathengisi besebenza ukwenza lokhu kwenzeke, ukusebenza kahle kokuqoqwa kwedatha nokuhlanganiswa kwayo kusalokhu kuyinselele. Lona umthelela we-EPCIS njengendinganiso yokudala nokwabelana ngezindawo zempahla kanye nokuzibona ngeso lengqondo kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka noma inethiwekhi yenani. Uma selihlanganisiwe, lizohlinzeka ngolimi oluvamile lokuthwebula nokwabelana ngolwazi olubizwa ngokuthi i-EPCIS ngenqubo yochungechunge lokuhlinzeka, ukuze amakhasimende aqonde uhlobo lomkhiqizo, ukuthi uvelaphi, ukuthi ubani owenzayo, kanye nezinqubo ezikuchungechungeni lwabo lokuhlinzeka, kanye nenqubo yokukhiqiza nokuthutha.
