"It's good to see NXP open a facility dedicated to the advancement of RFID and industry-wide research. We know that RFID benefits the supply chain for our as well as several other sectors by offering an excellent level of efficiency and transparency. The next step is to ensure that each application is optimized, which is the objective of the RDC", said Dr. Gerd Wolfram, Managing Director of MGI METRO Group Information Technology. "The RDC provides the necessary infrastructure required to evaluate RFID solutions for businesses like ours including labs, testing equipment and pallet moving equipments to recreate the most appropriate real-life conditions."
NXP's RDC application specific analysis and optimization transcends the simple design-in of products. All elements of the solution can be developed and evaluated from the first engineering sample to the middleware and the final product. Through collaboration with all stakeholders, this approach ensures that systems integrators and end-users can rely on performance and benefit from improved return on investment.
