Academic and Industry Collaboration

Voyantic has been actively following and supporting the development and growth of the RAIN RFID industry since 2004. During the early days, this work was best done by working directly with the leading academics and supporting the related work done by IEEE, for example. Voyantic is a proud sponsor of several IEEE RFID-TA events over the years in the USA and Europe, and we have also given speeches at seminars and lectures at numerous universities for undergraduates and graduates alike. We have even directly sponsored certain research groups by funding their work and also allocated resources to steer thesis workers, many of whom are since employed by Voyantic.

During the past decade, we have seen several industry verticals move forward as common standards and methodologies arise. This maturing of the industry and technology is natural and enables the industry to scale. At the same time we see new tagging methods emerge and evolve, for example embedded tags in car tires.

We believe in industrial collaboration. Voyantic was among the first companies to join the RAIN RFID Alliance in 2014, and AIM Europe. Voyantic is a member of the NFC Forum since 2018. We have had several leading positions in various technical workgroups, be it in ISO, GS1 or the RAIN Alliance.
