Our Tutorials

Jeffrey Dungen

Co-Founder and CEO of reelyActive

Tutorial on:

Context-Aware Physical Spaces

As the AIDC industry celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, the technology has evolved such that today, almost anything can be radio-identified, using standard passive and active tags, at a range of several metres or more. As such, contextual awareness at the scale of a physical space becomes a possibility through the identification, location and sensor data capture of everything present. This tutorial will cover how this data is captured, processed, represented and distributed to enable context-aware physical spaces, with a focus on RAIN RFID and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies, off-the-shelf hardware, and open source middleware. Current and emerging use cases will be presented, as well as a live, interactive demonstration.

Our Workshops

Chris Brown

RFID Subject Matter Expert at TSC Printronix Auto ID

Bertus Pretorius

Solution Architect at Tönnjes

Workshop on:

From Barcodes to RAIN, the 101 of tag data. Be a champion, do it right

This workshop explores the scope and correct use of the RAIN RFID data structures. The exploration deals with the key air protocol features to ensure efficient and effective item identification, the use of item attributes, authenticity and privacy. Notably, RAIN RFID provides a reliable reading of many tags over distances of 10m, which assists in full automation. The massive increase in the RAIN tag population (more than 30 billion tags were consumed in 2022) has RAIN-enabled applications read space increasingly overlapping. Understanding the use of RAIN data structures will prevent applications from being swamped by unwanted tags, which may lead to application failure when least expected. The exploration considers RAIN, barcode and NFC data interoperability, acknowledging that in many cases RAIN is added to an existing barcode system.

Workshop sessions on different topics!

RAIN ALLIANCE meeting

Join us in Seattle for an engaging meeting with RAIN Alliance, IEEE and other industry colleagues for opportunities to network and discuss innovative applications, success stories and technical advances! We look forward to seeing you there!
