RF Controls LLC of St. Louis announced this week that it has become a lab sponsor of the RFID Research Center at the University of Arkansas’ Information Technology Research Institute of the Sam M. Walton College of Business.
RF Controls has donated one of its Intelligent Tracking and Control Systems to the university, where it is used to assist students and demonstrate the capabilities of advanced data capture systems.
"It is a privilege for RF Controls to have been invited to become a sponsor of the University of Arkansas RFID Research Center," Chris Hook, vice president of business development at RF Controls, said in a news release. "Our Intelligent Tracking and Control System offers ground-breaking performance, providing users with a new system with which to tackle challenging applications in a differentiated way, while leveraging the availability of high-performance, low-cost, standards-compliant passive UHF RFID tags."
RF Controls said ITCS is a standards-based, high-performance RFID and real-time location system that is transforming the market’s expectations of passive UHF RFID systems through its combination of long read range with 3-D location and real-time tracking of tagged objects.
"We pride ourselves in having a complete and cutting edge suite of RFID technologies in the lab, allowing us to examine the use of these tools to solve real business problems," Bill Hardgrave, director of the RFID Research Center, said in a news release. "RF Controls’ new ITCS system is an innovative approach to using passive RFID tags, providing distance and spatial precision that was previously unavailable. These capabilities, in turn, will help solve unique and interesting business problems that were heretofore unsolvable."
