The Auto-ID Labs are an independent network of currently seven academic research labs that research and develop new technologies for revolutionizing global commerce and providing previously un-realizable consumer benefits. The Labs are run by the Auto-ID Labs Board of Directors which assembles the Labs research directors. Currently the board is chaired by Prof. Elgar Fleisch and Prof. Jun Murai. The EPCglobal Board of Governors serves as primary advisor.
Each Lab is run by a research director and employs several assistant directors, senior and junior researchers. Altogether the Auto-Labs currently employ seven research directors, nine assistant directors, and more than 60 researchers on four continents.
