SUMMARY:Scaling RAIN RFID in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Most hospitals using RAIN RFID have proven it works. Far fewer have made it work everywhere. Medication tray management alone is running in more than 1\,000 U.S. hospitals\, yet for most health systems RAIN still lives in isolated projects: a crash cart here\, a kit there\, each one its own data silo. \nThat is starting to change. New research from the ASHP Foundation\, drawing on 18 health-system pharmacy leaders\, finds that RFID is moving toward enterprise-wide\, connected systems. Those systems are built on interoperable standards\, tags applied upstream by manufacturers\, and data that flows into inventory\, automation and the EHR (the electronic health record). The gap between a successful pilot and that enterprise capability is where most healthcare RFID programs stall. The health systems that close it first will be the ones that avoid proprietary lock-in today. \nSo what does it take to scale? This Knowledge Series panel brings together a pharmaceutical manufacturer\, a solution provider and a leading children’s hospital to answer that question. \nThis Knowledge Series panel brings together a pharmaceutical manufacturer\, a solution provider and a leading children’s hospital to share what it takes to get there. \nWhat we’ll cover \n\nWhy healthcare is roughly 100× behind retail in RAIN adoption\, and what it will take to close the gap\nHow tagging at source by manufacturers changes the economics for hospitals and pharmacies\nLessons from medication tray management\, a proven RAIN deployment at scale\nHow RAIN and GS1 standards (GTIN/SGTIN and EPC) deliver true interoperability\, from source to patient\nWhy proprietary tag systems create long-term risk\, and how to avoid vendor lock-in\nWhat comes next: authentication\, chain of custody\, cold chain and reducing medication errors\n\nWho should attend \nHealth-system pharmacy\, supply chain\, perioperative and IT leaders; pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers; distributors; and solution providers\, whether you are evaluating RAIN RFID or already scaling it. \nMeet the panel \n\nGwen Volpe\, Senior Director of Medication Technology Programs and Strategic Partnerships\, Fresenius Kabi\nAaron Sundman\, Business Development Leader\, CCL eAgile\nCraig Lane\, Assistant Director\, Application & Technical Services\, Texas Children’s Hospital\nPaul Elizondo (moderator)\, Healthcare Community Leader\, RAIN Alliance

SUMMARY:RAIN Alliance Shenzhen Winter Forum
DESCRIPTION:China is home to much of the RAIN industry that designs and builds the world’s tags\, readers and silicon\, and increasingly a market where the technology is deployed at scale. As RAIN RFID moves from early deployments into large-scale\, real-world use across industries\, its continued growth creates new opportunities for every participant in the ecosystem. This forum continues a tradition of open\, cross-industry dialogue — more relevant today than ever as applications scale at home and around the world. \nThe entire RAIN ecosystem\, in one room.\nThis forum brings together the people who build\, deploy and scale RAIN RFID: silicon\, tag and reader technology providers\, and system integrators putting real-time visibility to work across manufacturing\, retail\, logistics and supply chain. Shenzhen sits at the heart of the global RAIN RFID supply chain\, making it the ideal place to hear from leaders across the ecosystem — to compare notes on what’s driving adoption\, share hard-won insights from deployments at scale\, and explore the applications and markets that will define the coming decade. \nBe part of scaling RAIN RFID.\nSpace is intentionally limited to keep discussion substantive and networking meaningful. To secure your place at the forum\, contact membership@therainalliance.org. \nBrought to you by RAIN Alliance\n \nSponsored by Shenzen DTB RFID and Impinj\n

SUMMARY:Loupe South China 2026
DESCRIPTION:LOUPE South China is the region’s most dynamic event for labels\, flexible packaging\, and folding cartons. Hosted in Shenzhen in Guangdong\, the industry’s capital\, the show floor comes alive with running presses\, real-time demonstrations\, and materials ready to test. Formerly Labelexpo South China\, the event adapts a wider lens to reflect a broader market – covering the converging technologies across labels\, flexible packaging (shrink sleeves and pouches)\, inline carton converting – while continuing as the regional home for labels and a catalyst for innovation across growth segments of the package printing value-chain. \nDesigned for decision makers\, it brings together leading suppliers\, converters\, and brand owners ready to source\, compare\, and invest. From digital and flexo to RFID\, automation\, and sustainable substrates\, LOUPE South China is where business happens and where companies find the right solutions to expand into high value markets and achieve growth.
