Every DPP-ready RAIN tag is built around an integrated circuit. The chip inside the tag is what determines how long it holds its data and how reliably it can be read when it matters most. What Makes a RAIN Tag DPP-Ready? It Starts with the IC If you have been
How Rising Oil Prices Are Accelerating the Digital Transformation of Global Supply Chains and Why RAIN RFID Is the Enabling Technology Global oil prices have risen sharply, crossing above $100 per barrel amid significant disruption to energy infrastructure and key shipping corridors. While the duration of elevated prices remains uncertain, the direction is clear: supply
Aileen Ryan, President and CEO, RAIN Alliance In an era defined by global supply chains and connected commerce, the infrastructure underpinning these systems cannot be built by one single organization – or even one single type of organization. Harmonising the countless stakeholders involved, in a way that encourages
Adoption of RAIN RFID solutions has never been stronger. Billions of products now harness the capabilities of the technology, and with RAIN-enabled smartphones coming to market, coupled with the requirement of Digital Product Passport (DPP) legislation introducing mandated traceability, it’s a truly exciting time to be working in this space.
Author: Joe Preishuber-Pflügl, Head of Regulatory Affairs, RAIN Alliance What is radio spectrum, and why does power matter? Radio spectrum is the range of electromagnetic frequencies used to transmit information wirelessly. Every wireless technology — Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, and RAIN RFID — occupies a portion of this spectrum. The
RAIN technology is enabling a new generation of practical, connected solutions across countless connected industries. With close to one billion tags shipped each week, billions of tags are in active use each day, but reading these tags has historically relied on specialized hardware. The integration of RAIN RFID into consumer
European regulation is about to mandate a permanent digital identity for every textile sold on the continent. Here is what that means for retailers, brands, and consumers — and why RAIN RFID is the technology built to make it happen. A Digital Product Passport for Every Piece of Clothing Somewhere
Over the next several years, the European Union will require entire product categories to carry structured, verifiable digital product passports containing detailed information about materials, carbon footprint, durability, repairability, and supply chain sourcing. Without a compliant Digital Product Passport, affected products cannot legally be sold in the EU. For manufacturers,
Billions of single-use containers — cups, trays, bottles, food boxes — are produced, used once, and discarded every year. Regulators across Europe have said this must change and are accelerating the move away from single-use materials toward reusable and recyclable systems. The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requires
Every day, RAIN RFID tags are being read billions of times across the world — in hospitals, warehouses, airports, factories, retail stores, and sports stadiums. Most of the time, nobody notices. That is exactly the point. The technology works quietly in the background, giving organisations real-time visibility into where their
