The retail and supply chain sectors face the challenges digital transformation poses, and COVID-19 has increased the pressure. In this article we look at how RFID-based touchless technologies offer opportunities – from automated supply chain scanning to touchless retail experiences.

For COVID-19 control and reliable testing, authentic testing kits and personal protective equipment (PPE) are truly vital. Together with blockchain startup SUKU, Smartrac developed a digital verification solution to securely authenticate healthcare equipment and provide supply chain transparency.

Smartrac launched its NFC Pro series to empower brands and retailers to beat counterfeiting and deliver customer experiences with more security - made possible through “one-time password” authentication. The new Circus™ Tamper Loop Pro inlays and tags combine these capabilities with “digital seal” tamper detection, and introduce a new IC option.
