# Certified RFID Deployment Services CONTROLTEK Improves Its Radio Frequency Identification Tech By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-05-28 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radio-frequency-identification References: [controltekusa](https://controltekusa.com/solutions/rfid-solutions)  CONTROLTEK has deepened its qualifications in radio frequency identification technology by significantly increasing the number of its staff members who hold [Zebra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zebras-rfid-tags) sales and technical certifications. The company now boasts 34 such credentials across the organization. This service enhancement means that when a business hires CONTROLTEK for a [radio frequency identification (RFID) deployment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rfid-locker-system), the team handling the project has verified expertise in Zebra-brand readers, mobile computers, printers, and data capture tools, which are widely used in [inventory tracking systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instore-inventory-management). CONTROLTEK's services would be particularly useful to retail chains, logistics firms, manufacturers, healthcare systems, and other commercial clients because it reduces the risk and complexity associated with adopting RFID technology. As a company, CONTROLTEK boasts a nationwide network of over 250 technicians and 50,000 systems installed in the past five years.
