The center's Arkansas Radio Compliance (ARC) laboratory has offered certification and testing for ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags since 2010, and both the RFID Research Center and the ARC lab are now expected to grow exponentially, according to Bill Hardgrave, a dean and Wells Fargo professor at Auburn University's Raymond J. Harbert College of Business. The RFID Research Center will continue its research relationship with the University of Arkansas' Sam M. Walton College of Business, the college's department of supply chain management and the university's Center for Advanced Spatial Technology. However, it will now also work closely with multiple groups at Auburn that will allow it to expand far beyond item-level RFID tagging for apparel and other retail applications.
