At the RAIN Alliance meeting in Amsterdam last week, Impinj's Juho Partanen showcased how mobile RAIN RFID can power Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and support sustainability initiatives.   Using the Chainway C66 handheld reader, powered by Impinj E Family reader ICs, we demonstrated real-time product transparency and lifecycle visibility, showing how RFID-enabled mobile devices put insights directly into the hands of businesses and consumers to drive smarter, more sustainable decisions.   Thanks to Chainway and our partners for helping bring these real-world DPP use cases to life. See how mobile RAIN RFID is unlocking new efficiencies and transforming how supply chains operate. #RAINRFID #RAINAlliance #DigitalProductPassports
