Our .NET software identifies products by their barcode. In order to seamlessly work with the products I RFID scan, I need to convert the EPC of each scanned product to a barcode. Is there a simple way to do that? For example, If I’m able to get the URI representation of the EPC, I’m pretty sure I can get the manufacturer’s code and item reference as they are, in the URI, just numbers separated by decimal points along with the serial number if one exists. Maybe I’m going about this the wrong way since RFIDs are totally new to me but in the end what I need to do is get the barcode from each EPC that I scan. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if the epc is encoded in GS1 format then you should be able to decode it and capture the different elements of the encoding. here is a good place to start:
https://www.gs1.org/services/epc-encoderdecoder
zebra provides a service online to do GS1 encoding decoding : https://qa-developer.zebra.com/apis/gs1-barcode-decode#
Thanks for your response. I would like to know if you have any DLL or SDK that can provide us with the ability to decode the EPC instead of using a web API call?

here is a good place to start and there are a few dlls or .net components to decode GS1 epc :

This link is very helpful and solved my problem too. I appreciate it!!
hi guys, all
zebra does not provide a dll for this but this library if still available can help.

also zebra services could help you develop a piece of code to decode gs1 epc
