RAIN Alliance Tyres Masterclass

RAIN Tags in Tyres: Turning the EU DPP into a Competitive Advantage

The essential knowledge required for the use of RAIN tags in Tyres

The EU Digital Product Passport presents a complex technical challenge. But for industry leaders, it’s also the trigger for a massive commercial opportunity. The key is building an infrastructure that not only ensures compliance but also pays for itself through new, data-driven services.

This intensive, one-day course provides the technical framework to do just that. We move beyond theory to focus on solving the real-world engineering hurdles of embedding RAIN tags and leveraging shared data spaces like GDSO to build a valuable, future-proof ecosystem.

This Course is Essential For:
Senior Product Managers, Manufacturing Engineers, and other senior leaders tasked with navigating the complexities of tyre tagging and creating a strategy that delivers long-term value.

What Your Team Will Achieve in One Day:

• Address the core challenges in Embedding RAIN Tags: Develop a deep understanding for the physical and environmental hurdles of embedding RAIN tags reliably and at scale, and their solutions.
• Master key Manufacturing challenges: Learn proven approaches to testing RAIN Technology, as well as laminating and inserting TAGs.
• Learn the industry approach to data sharing: Understand how GDSO, an EU DPP compliant protocol, is used to create a robust data exchange, forming the backbone for DPP compliance and future connected tyre services.

Delivered by the Experts on the Front Line
This course is led by the RAIN Alliance members who are actively solving these challenges in the field. You gain direct access to practical, hard-won knowledge that will save your team months of trial and error.
