SUMMARY:Revolutionizing Pharma: RAIN from Clinical Scale to Smart Packaging
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the latest webinar in the RAIN Alliance Knowledge Series exploring the transformative applications of RAIN technology in the pharmaceutical sector\, ranging from large-scale clinical implementations to pioneering advancements in smart packaging. \nIn the first presentation\, TJ Bozada (Bluesight) and Tyler Wilson (Sentara Hospital) will discuss the deployment of RAIN systems in infusion and oncology clinics. They will share how automation and RAIN technology have improved inventory accuracy\, reduced waste\, and enhanced regulatory compliance\, drawing from real-world experience at Sentara Health. \nThe second presentation\, led by Sara Amendola and Adina Barba Bianca (Radio6ense)\, introduces a groundbreaking innovation in smart pharmaceutical packaging: novel miniaturized\, battery-free RAIN sensors embedded directly into sealed drug containers such as vials\, bottles\, and blister packs. These sensors enable\, for the first time\, real-time monitoring of critical parameters like temperature and humidity from inside the packaging without compromising its integrity. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nRAIN is already dramatically improving pharmaceutical inventory accuracy\, reducing waste\, and supporting compliance in clinical settings.\nA new generation of battery-free sensors is being piloted to monitor temperature and humidity inside sealed drug packaging.\nRAIN sensors open the door to smarter packaging\, safer supply chains\, and faster\, data-driven drug development.\n\nRegister Now

To meet regularity requirements (beginning in 2027/28 and mandatory by 2030 in all 27 EU member nations) companies are increasingly turning to RAIN technology. RAIN (UHF RFID) is a wireless technology that connects trillions of everyday items to the internet\, enabling businesses and consumers to identify\, locate\, authenticate\, and engage each item. In this session learn how the DPP requirements will impact the retail sector. Also hear the latest sustainability use cases for supply chains. Gain an understanding of how integrating RAIN RFID functionality in mobile device chipsets will help fulfil DPP requirements as well as enabling workers and consumers use their phones or other devices to engage with RFID tagged products or assets. \nModerator: \nDr. Susanne Guth-Orlowski\, DPP Specialist\, RAIN Alliance \nSpeakers: \nMegan Brewster\, VP Advanced Technology\, Impinj \nJonathan Aitken\, VP of Global On Product Technology\, PVH \nMelissa Auge\, Marketing and Business development North America\, REGOM US \nAlireza Yasan\, Director Of Business Development\, Qualcomm \nMaximizing Value of GS1 Gen2v3 Adoption for RAIN deployments: Unlocking a Force to Increase Accuracy and Speed – Wednesday\, May 7\, 11.15am – 11.55am\nGen2v3\, the latest release of GS1’s EPC air interface standard\, has been enhanced to meet the obstacles encountered by users when several RAIN readers are deployed in a single area with multiple applications running simultaneously.
