SUMMARY:RAIN Encoding Masterclass & Certification Exam
DESCRIPTION:Correctly encoding tags is at the core of the design of a successful RAIN system. Failure to use a correct encoding scheme\, or “Numbering System\,” can result in an inability to achieve business performance targets due to Tag Clutter\, especially in dynamic read zones with a multiplicity of alternate tag sources.  It may also leave your system open to fraud and loss as tags are cloned or otherwise misused. It has been estimated that over 30% of tags are incorrectly encoded. As business adoption of RAIN spreads rapidly\, fueling a 29% CAGR\, this situation is only going to get worse. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:RAIN Alliance Webinar: Increase RAIN Efficiency with the New Gen2v3 Features
DESCRIPTION:RAIN technology has proved highly effective and is increasingly used in many sectors. Consequently\, the number of RAIN tags in circulation increases significantly every year. During inventory\, it’s not uncommon to capture RAIN tags that don’t belong to your application. While this can be easily managed today\, it will become a real problem over time. These unwanted “clutter” tags slow down inventory and\, more problematically\, prevent the capture of some interesting tags. At the same time\, we are seeing more and more RAIN applications requiring RAIN tags to carry not only a unique identifier\, but also additional information. How to focus on these tags and effectively capture this data is becoming a challenge. Based on lessons learned from over 10 years of deploying RAIN applications\, a new Gen2v3 air interface protocol has been designed and recently released. Come and find out how this new standard can help meet today’s RAIN challenges.
