Rutgers 'enrolls' in RFID

Rutgers University announced in May the launch of the RFID Testing and Research Center, Piscataway, NJ. It will provide a variety of services and resources to RFID end users in the following areas:

• Validate that industry mandates and optimal reading performance are achieved
• Monitor temperature and performance of perishable supply chains such as food or pharmaceutical products
• Undertake RFID pilot trials to fulfill retailers’ requests and to comply with food safety regulations.

We interviewed Adrian Dumitru, who heads the new RFID lab, to find out more. He says the 30 x 60-ft facility is equipped with a drive-through dock-door portal, a forklift, a 44-ft-long, 600-ft/min variable-speed conveyor, and a variety of readers and antennas from multiple vendors. “We also have RFID tag-testing software in place for tag profiling and equipment to support cold-chain applications,” Dumitru notes.
