What is an ARC RFID Tag?
ARC is not a specific type of tag, but a performance certification program established by the Auburn University RFID Lab.
- Core Purpose: It ensures that RFID tags meet specific performance and consistency standards for various use cases (e.g., retail, logistics, aviation).
- Testing Scope: The lab tests tags for sensitivity, read range, frequency response, and performance when applied to different materials (such as denim, cardboard, or plastic).
- Industry Significance: Many major global retailers (like Walmart, Target, and Macy's) mandate that their suppliers use ARC-certified tags to guarantee high accuracy in automated inventory management and supply chain tracking.
