What is the Auburn University RFID Lab?
And this is why it matters.
The Auburn University RFID Lab is a leading research institute that studies and advances how RFID and related technologies can be used in retail, supply chain, aviation, manufacturing, and more.
It combines academic researchers, students, retailers, manufacturers, and technology vendors — offering education, rigorous testing, real-world deployments, and industry guidance.
Key activities include: evaluating RFID tags and inlays to meet industry specs (the ARC Quality Program), providing business-case analysis, developing deployment playbooks, supporting suppliers with onboarding and compliance, and researching next-generation applications (from IoT to sensor fusion, AI, localization, and more) for future supply-chain and product-tracking systems.
In short: the Auburn RFID Lab doesn’t just test or demo RFID — it builds the bridge between technical potential and real-world adoption, helping companies deploy RFID systems at scale with confidence and compliance.
