The biggest difference between TIX 6 and TIX 5 is that the ttData format is now a legacy format, replaced by EPCIS XML as the preferred input format.

The data model for ttData has been completely rewritten for improved performance and concurrency. The memory footprint of each TIX customer has been greatly reduced.

EPCIS data is still transformed into the TraceTracker Traceability Model, but the constraints of that model has been greatly relaxed.

  • All extensions are converted to PropertyValues and PropertyLogValues, regardless if they conform to the property type.
  • A default TRD is provided, so no additional TRD configuration is required, but may be added if wanted.
  • Unit expressions may be entered directly into extensions or TradeUnitTypes/BatchTypes, eliminating the need for a separate Unit.xml-configuration file.
