RFID test centre opens
December 1st 2007

The EPCglobal RFID Test Centre is now open at Winsford, Cheshire. Hosted by Intellident, the Centre is a GS1 UK service set up to help organisations understand and gain RFID business benefits – such as cost savings, improved accuracy and increased efficiency.

Organisations can interact with the latest technology in a real-world industrial setting and receive impartial advice on how RFID can be implemented in different application areas.

The Centre can also be used by organisations to test how the technology works on their own products and assets and in environments similar to their own.

Prior to the official launch, Christian Salvesen, Carphone Warehouse and AESSEAL were among the first visitors.

Christian Salvesen IT analyst, Simon Woodward said the centre is "exactly what the industry needs to encourage widespread adoption of RFID".
