Success Story
Pankaj Sood, MEEI graduate:
Business Created: “McMaster RFID Applications Lab”
• McMaster RFID Applications Lab (MRAL) will facilitate
adoption of RFID technologies by providing student
training and the infrastructure required to design and
deploy proof of concept projects for RFID applications.
MRAL will interact directly with students and industry
partners and will partner with industry vendors for
complex project deployments.
