RFID Testing to Maximize Readability in Any Supply Chain

Axia Lab is the preferred lab for those looking to receive RFID tag validation in new, diverse environments.  We assess RFID tag performance on actual products following globally recognized standards, providing comprehensive reports and recommendations for improvements. RFID tag validation is an enabler of transparency, interoperability, efficiency, and accessibility across your supply chain.

At least 30 individual units (minimum) are tested in our RFID Laboratory to determine the optimum tag placement and tag performance.  Learn More >>  RFID Testing Services
