The Kennedy Group’s Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) group, a turnkey leader in EPC-compliant solutions, announced the opening of an RFID testing facility on the grounds of its 30-acre campus in Willoughby, Ohio. The company’s state-of-the-art Customer Solution Center is fully equipped to help companies meet stringent EPC-compliance requirements established by the largest retailers and the Department of Defense for tagging and treating products at the case, pallet and item levels.

Through this center, The Kennedy Group makes it easy for businesses to learn more about RFID technology and the ways in which it can improve their inventory control and customer service. The 7,000-square-foot Customer Solution Center is designed to test RFID tags, printers and printer applicators, all under actual working conditions, to ensure that they meet the unique needs and demands of its expanding customer base. This, in turn, helps customers determine the exact specifics and actual frequencies along with the type of antenna necessary to read a customers’ tag. In addition, the center provides customers with third-party verification for those mandated to meet EPC compliance. After testing is complete at the center, The Kennedy Group then tests systems at its customers’ facilities to further ensure accuracy and quality.
