The RAIN RFID & NFC: Track, Authenticate & Communicate Conference will introduce new technology available to the supply chain.

Speakers will demonstrate deployments of RAIN RFID and NFC technology within the supply chain that enhance the customer experience and supply chain efficiency, and build brand awareness and equity.

Held in conjunction with the 16th Queensland Supply Chain & Logistics Conference, visitors will learn from case studies whereby RFID has been employed at retail and in the warehouse, as well as examine authentication and NFC in the hands of the customer.

Innovations in the retail space have included everything from silicon through to smart shelves and magic mirrors, electronic article surveillance, robotics, and big data analytics.

The conference will be held in Brisbane from 20-21 August. Register here.
