RAIN in Tyres Masterclass
RAIN adoption continues to accelerate beyond the supply chain into the whole product lifecycle, as tyre companies, amongst others, seek profit from the advantages that derive from being able to track products from cradle to grave. This shift places significant challenges on tag design and on the process of tag embedding and reading.
This masterclass will provide you with practical knowledge on how to embed RAIN tags into tyres on an industrial scale.
Created for the tyre market by the RAIN Alliance and its members, this one-day course is designed to enable companies to understand the physical, environmental and technical challenges of embedding RAIN technology into tyres.
It is specifically designed for tyre industry engineers, technicians, and technical leaders in charge of making their industry ready to equip tyres with sustainable RAIN tags.
