NASA, Delta Air Lines, and Auburn University RFID Lab Share Knowledge in Pursuit of Innovation
NASA representatives completed visits with Delta Air Lines facilities and the Auburn Radio Frequency Identification Laboratory at Auburn University in February to further the collaborative exchange of knowledge between the three organizations. The Auburn RFID Laboratory has a strong relationship with NASA and Delta Air Lines that stems from mutual determination to garner innovation within their unique industries, and is rooted in research, technology, and collaboration. Delta Air Lines has successfully implemented different RFID technologies across their entire business model, and these strategies have the potential to aid NASA here on Earth and with future missions to the Moon and beyond. Bianca Rhym, Research and Technology Studies Manager for NASA’s Gateway Deep Space Logistics, is a vital part of this innovative relationship and will be speaking at the lab’s annual RFID Conference in April.
Auburn RFID Lab
Auburn University's RFID Lab specializes in the business case and technical implementation of radio frequency identification technology in retail, supply chain and manufacturing settings.
In moving to Auburn University in 2014, the lab was reunited with its founder, Harbert College of Business Dean Bill Hardgrave. Hardgrave helped launch the lab at the University of Arkansas in 2005.
The lab has continued to work with leading retail, supply chain, manufacturing and technology companies.
