XSKIN Gamma and Metal Skin® Delta show how smart RAIN RFID labels can support gamma-sterilized packaging, on-metal healthcare assets, medical device identification, and compliance-supporting traceability workflows. Singapore, June 2026 — Xerafy, a manufacturer of industrial RAIN RFID tags, smart RFID labels, and application-specific tagging solutions, announced that its smart RFID
The core premise of this article is a fundamental paradigm shift: RAIN RFID has transitioned from isolated hardware challenges to an enterprise-integration imperative. In 2026, the question is no longer "Does RAIN RFID work?" but rather "How effectively can we scale and integrate RAIN RFID data across our entire supply
For years, RAIN RFID has been deployed across different levels of the supply chain, each addressing a specific operational need. Pallet-level tagging has enabled bulk tracking and logistics visibility. Carton-level RFID has improved routing, consolidation, and handling efficiency. Meanwhile, item-level tagging has transformed inventory accuracy and product traceability. These
RF Controls LLC, Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), and Inventec Corporation (TPE: 2356) are pleased to announce the production availability of the CS-EDGE Advance Linux Edge Gateway (ALxEG), the first production product integrating the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS6490, the Qualcomm Linux microPlatform (LmP), and the Qualcomm Foundries CI/CD OTA service. Two models
Supply chains are under growing pressure to move faster and operate with greater accuracy than ever before. Yet many warehouse and parcel sorting operations still rely heavily on barcode scanning — a process that requires manual, line-of-sight reading of individual items. In high-volume logistics environments, this creates operational bottlenecks and
RAIN RFID has long been known as a technology for identifying products, improving stock accuracy and reducing manual scanning. But the market is changing. According to Bart van Elsdingen, responsible for Projects & Operations at Cisper, the next phase will be less about identification alone and more about reliable product data. “RAIN RFID is no longer only about knowing where something is,” says Van Elsdingen. “The real question is becoming: can we trust the data behind the product, the asset or the shipment?” That question is becoming more relevant as companies face growing demands around supply chain visibility, sustainability, automation and upcoming regulations such as the Digital Product Passport. The Digital Product Passport as a trigger The Digital Product Passport is pushing companies to connect physical products with digital information about origin, materials, lifecycle and sustainability. Van Elsdingen does not see this purely as a compliance issue. “The DPP may give companies a reason to finally get their product data properly organised,” he explains. “RAIN
