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!

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!

Some people imagine the Internet of Things as a network of powered electronic devices. We think bigger. We’re expanding the internet’s reach by a factor of 1,000 — to apparel, packages, pallets, airline baggage, medical supplies, food, and so much more. Together with our partners, we’re driving efficiencies, reducing waste, enabling the circular economy, and ultimately, we hope, improving peoples’ lives.

We are specialized in the design and production of ultra-low power, low voltage integrated circuits (IC) for battery-operated and field-powered applications across diverse consumer and automotive industries. Through intimate collaboration with our teams and diverse manufacturing expertise, we deliver customfit IC modules or end-products to our customers, using low-power analog and digital design techniques and a mastery of power management circuitry.

Our vision is to achieve perfect inventory visibility, zero waste, and no losses for every retailer. The Nedap iD Cloud Platform makes it simple for retailers to always have the right products available at the right place and time by creating a complete and transparent view of the supply chain.

We empower organisations to grow efficiently, sustainably and safely - helping transform the way we work and live.
Our standards enable organisations to identify, capture and share information smoothly, creating a common language that underpins systems and processes all over the world.
