The University of Arkansas’ RFID Research Center has completed detailed analysis of the EPC read environments of multiple different retailers’ stores. The study, comprising thousands of hours of exhaustive data capture and analysis of tagged items in actual retail store implementations, contains information regarding data-capture rates and performance of the current generation of RFID technology. Process issues that retailers might address to achieve better EPC performance are quantified, including: supplier source tagging, label attachment, returns, in-store tagging, store environment, tag performance, reader performance, scanning, associating RFID information and more.
