Exploring RFID Label Solutions Webinar: Great Opportunities Ahead, RFID Quality Control is no Longer Optional
Jan 13, 2026
Voyantic partnered with AB Graphics International in Exploring RFID Label Solutions webinar, bringing industry experts together to discuss where the RFID market is heading, where are the biggest opportunities, and what successful large-scale adoption requires.
Expert perspectives were shared by Juho Partanen, Vice President of Market Transformation at Impinj, Matty Woodcock, RFID Product Manager at AB Graphic International, and Teemu Ainasoja, VP of Sales and Marketing at Voyantic.
Rather than covering every angle in depth, the session highlighted a few clear themes shaping the future of RFID.

RFID Adoption Is Driven by Real Operational Pressures
Juho Partanen noted that supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, retail theft, and increasing demands for transparency are pushing organizations toward item-level visibility. RAIN RFID enables more accurate tracking and real-time data across supply chains, retail, and logistics—helping companies respond to these pressures while supporting sustainability and traceability goals.
Upcoming EU Digital Product Passport requirements were also brought up by Partanen, as he discussed them as more than just a compliance issue. The requirements represent a broader shift toward product-level data transparency across the entire lifecycle. RFID provides a practical way to link physical products to reliable digital information—but only if the data is accurate and consistent from the start.
Scalable Production Requires Integrated RFID Solutions
Matty Woodcock noted that from a production perspective, RAIN RFID label manufacturing is evolving toward modular, scalable systems. Integrating insertion, encoding, quality control, and printing into a single workflow improves efficiency and future-proofs operations as RFID volumes grow. Many manufacturers start small and expand as adoption increases, making flexibility a key requirement.
RFID Quality Control Is No Longer Optional
One of the strongest messages from the webinar was discussed by Teemu Ainasoja, and that was the importance of proper RAIN RFID quality control. Visual inspection or short-range testing alone cannot detect many defects that impact read range and long-term performance. As RFID moves into high-volume, mission-critical use, systematic, high-speed testing during production is essential to avoid costly failures later in the value chain.
