Group to document emerging applications, overcome deployment barriers and advance Industrial IoT, asset management and Digital Product Passport use cases August 2026 – RAIN Alliance, the non-profit industry organization supporting the development and adoption of standards-based RAIN RFID, has announced the formation of a new RAIN RFID Sensor Working Group.
Xemelgo has launched a new browser-based mini-game pitting barcode vs. RAIN RFID as the cornerstone of the Xemelgo Experience Center, giving professionals across industries a fun, hands-on way to explore the benefits of RAIN RFID for their operations before investing in the technology. The first-person experience lets players test the
For years, RFID was mainly associated with inventory counting and retail efficiency. That is no longer the full picture. Today, a RAIN RFID label can transform an ordinary product into a source of real-time intelligence — carrying data, enabling traceability and connecting the physical and digital worlds in ways that
Dhaka, Bangladesh – [August 19, 2026] JFZ Label & Printing Co. Ltd. (JFZ), a leading provider of advanced labelling, printing, packaging, RAIN RFID, NFC, and intelligent identification solutions, has officially joined the RAIN Alliance, the global industry association dedicated to advancing RAIN RFID adoption, standards, education, and industry collaboration. The
RAIN RFID is moving rapidly from a technology project to an operational capability. Tag volumes continue to grow, use cases are expanding, and RAIN-enabled infrastructure is increasingly becoming part of how businesses understand the physical world. The RAIN Alliance and VDC Research forecast RAIN tag chip shipments to reach 115
Ⅰ. Product Overview Traditional production lines rely on manual barcode scanning, which can only recognize one tag at a time. This results in extremely low efficiency for bulk inventory checks in warehouses, and makes long-distance material handling and palletized goods identification even more difficult. Vanch Intelligent's VI-IR60, VI-IR61, VI-IR64, and
The RAIN RFID Retail Maturity Journey Retail has always been defined by its ability to adapt. Over the past several decades, retailers have continually evolved in response to changing consumer expectations, new business models, and emerging technologies. Stores became omnichannel fulfillment centers. Digital commerce blurred the boundaries between physical and
With over 1,800 stores across 79 countries as well as a comprehensive online shop, Decathlon is one of the world’s largest sporting goods retailers. Keeping each of its channels of commerce fully stocked is a significant challenge, and so it relies on RAIN RFID to underpin its inventory management. But with billions of products to keep track
Encoding is critical to the success or failure of RAIN RFID implementations. With billions of RAIN tag chips shipped annually, manufacturers of RAIN-enabled solutions must ensure proper encoding so that each of their products can be reliably identified, operate as expected across compatible systems and contribute to the connected device ecosystem. Chris Brown, RFID Program Director at TSC Auto ID Technology, joins us for the second in our three-part tag encoding blog series to share his perspective as a manufacturer
As an ever-growing number of stakeholders adopt RAIN RFID infrastructure, pressure is increasing to ensure each of these applications can coexist and interoperate seamlessly and securely. In part one of our three-part blog series on tag encoding, Jonathan Gregory, Senior Director – Global Standards at GS1 explains why standards-based encoding that enshrines item level traceability
