As an ever-growing number of stakeholders adopt RAIN RFID infrastructure, pressure is increasing to ensure each of these applications can coexist and interoperate seamlessly and securely. In part one of our three-part blog series on tag encoding, Jonathan Gregory, Senior Director – Global Standards at GS1 explains why standards-based encoding that enshrines item level traceability
Ahead of RAIN in Action in Madrid, we sat down with some of our sponsors to hear how they see RAIN RFID evolving — from where adoption is accelerating today to what item-level data must become by 2030. In this Q&A, they share their perspective on the technology's role in
As enterprises continue to expand the use of RAIN RFID across retail, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and asset management, mobile devices are evolving to support more intelligent, connected, and flexible workflows. Recognizing this trend, Chainway has introduced MC80 5G UHF RFID reader. Built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ Q-6690 Processor, MC80 is
For over a decade, the enterprise world was captivated by the promise of Industry 4.0—a vision of hyper-automation, "dark" facilities, and the systematic elimination of human touchpoints from the supply chain. Yet, as we navigate the complexities of modern global operations, a harsh reality has set in: pure automation has
For decades, global manufacturing operated on a relatively predictable formula, stable labour costs, manageable lead times and supply chains optimised for efficiency. Today, that formula is being rewritten. Manufacturers are navigating a changed geopolitical reality, volatile raw material prices, compressed production schedules, rising customer expectations and increasingly stringent compliance requirements,
For many organisations, the conversation around Digital Product Passports (DPPs) begins with regulation. As the European Union advances the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), companies are understandably focused on understanding what information they will need to collect, how products should be identified, and how they can prepare for upcoming
This is the third in a series of guides exploring how RAIN RFID technology enables Digital Product Passport compliance across regulated product categories. Part 1 covers textile tags | Part 2 covers RAIN RFID integrated circuits. Every tyre sold in the EU will soon require a Digital Product Passport.
Healthcare and pharmaceutical organisations are facing increasing pressure to improve traceability, regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Regulations such as the FDA Unique Device Identification (UDI) rule, the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and emerging initiatives like Digital Product Passports (DPP) are driving the need for reliable, item-level tracking across medical
How Tendam Extended the Value of RAIN RFID Through Autonomous Inventory Robotics Inventory accuracy is not just an operational metric, it directly impacts customer experience, fulfilment speed, and overall efficiency in warehousing. For retailers that have already adopted RAIN RFID, the next challenge is how to extend the value of
