Lessons From the Field: Understanding RF Performance in a Retail Store Deployment

Published: October 17, 2013

The success of an RFID implementation is dependent on two major factors: properly executing the use of any new RFID processes, and monitoring the RFID readers and tags to be certain that they can successfully function together. The University of Arkansas’ RFID Research Center will share the results of a recently published white paper that studied how well a variety of retailers and suppliers have been able to maintain proper execution of RFID tasks and tagging. Additionally, the speaker will present an in-depth analysis of the real-world performance of readers and tags. Gain an understanding of what retailers can expect of RFID system performance, and how to resolve any issues should they occur. Techniques to resolve issues that arise from execution or RF performance will also be reviewed.

Speakers:
Dr. Senthilkumar CP , Technical Director—RFID Research Center, University of Arkansas;
Justin Patton, RFID Research Center Managing Director, University of Arkansas
