RAID Labs was established in 2011 under Dr. Erick Jones at the University of Texas at Arlington. Immediately after gaining the labs, setup began and experiments were being issued to undergraduates and PHD students alike. Current projects are involved in the areas of hospitals as well as factory lines, to name a few. The lab is currently also working on phone apps to help identify RFID tags. Some of the labs other focuses are:
- Supply Chain Logistics/Supply Chain (warehouse location) Analysis for a city governmen.
- Engineering Management-Productivity tool that measures the productivity of engineers and knowledge workers from behavioral characteristics.
- RFID in the Mechanical Contracting Industry-Asset tracking development funded by the Mechanical Contracting Educational Research Fund (MCERF).
