Introduction: DPP and the status-quo for batteries Under current battery regulations in the EU, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) — used to capture lifecycle, origin, and regulatory data — relies on QR codes as the data carrier. QR codes are cheap, easy to print, and easy to read with any
When we talk about RAIN RFID in retail and supply chains, the focus is usually predictable: efficiency, accuracy, cost savings, speed. All important, of course. But in a recent RAIN Alliance webinar, a different and far more human question took center stage: What does this technology actually do for the
KYOTO, Japan — KTC (TOKYO:5966), Japan’s No.1 industrial tool manufacturer, has successfully developed and operationalized a high-level integrated RFID-based solution — the “nepros ID TOOL Management System” — that is set to revolutionize on-site tool management. This groundbreaking system will be showcased at SINGAPORE AIRSHOW 2026, taking place from February
What Defines a RAIN System, And Why It's Not Negotiable At its core, a RAIN system is a standards-based wireless system where both the tag and the reader implement the RAIN air-interface protocol (ISO/IEC 18000-63, also known as GS1 UHF Gen2) and the tag is encoded with an identifier that
ASYGN, a developer of high-performance integrated circuits, is proud to announce it has officially joined the RAIN Alliance. As a key provider of RAIN RFID sensor chips that enable battery-free sensing applications, ASYGN’s membership marks a significant step in the evolution of the RAIN ecosystem, moving beyond simple identification to
Walking away from NRF this year, one message came through loud and clear: retail is no longer just a merchandising business — it’s a technology business. Across conversations, booths, demos, and side events, our team consistently heard the same themes repeated from different corners of the show floor. Together, they
Efficient UHF | RAIN RFID Data Capture with USB Type-C RFID Reader Companies in logistics, industry, retail, and asset management are under increasing pressure to make their processes faster, more transparent, and error-free. Traditional barcode systems quickly reach their limits: line-of-sight is required, multiple items cannot be captured simultaneously, and
