WE are RFID Whitepaper Library
Filter by topics such as RFID basics, store operations, loss prevention, supply chain, hardware, labels and business case.
Why RFID data alone does not produce any benefit – and how software turns readings into concrete tasks, workflows, dashboards and decisions.
Why article surveillance only works if store teams trust the system – and how technology, processes, training and data quality reduce false alarms and improve reactions.
How RFID-EAS expands classic article surveillance – from anonymous alerting to item-related information for loss prevention, store operations and inventory transparency.
Why checkout, self-checkout and checkout areas are becoming strategic security zones – and how RFID-EAS brings article surveillance closer to the actual risk point.
Why Grocery RFID is more complex than fashion – and how grocery, CPG and convenience can benefit from item visibility, checkout security, freshness processes, reusables and supply chain.
Why beauty, health and drugstores have special RFID requirements – and how small packaging, liquids, brand aesthetics, loss relevance and omnichannel can be neatly brought together.
Why fashion retail benefits particularly strongly from RFID – and how item visibility in sizes, colors, variants, refills and omnichannel has a direct influence on sales and customer experience.
Why RFID performance doesn’t just depend on the label format — and how new chip generations can improve read range, encoding, storage flexibility, data quality and rollout capability.
Why RFID success doesn’t start with just any label – but with the right inlay for the product, packaging, reading zone, process and rollout goal.
How retailers, brands and suppliers create RFID value before the goods arrive in the store — and why labeling, encoding and quality assurance at the beginning of the supply chain determine rollout success.
Why the barcode remains important in retail — and why RFID makes the difference where speed, inventory accuracy, variant control and omnichannel capability become crucial.
Why RFID should be valued not just through faster inventory — but through inventory availability, store operations, omnichannel, loss prevention and better decisions.
From label to decision.

Whitepaper guidance
The whitepaper library brings together the RFID topics retail teams need when moving from orientation to a robust decision. Each edition focuses on a different building block: RFID basics, RAIN RFID, EPC, GS1, business case, barcode comparison, source tagging, inlay selection, store operations, omnichannel, loss prevention and supply chain visibility.
The right reading path depends on the project stage. Teams new to RFID should start with the basics and the business case. Teams preparing a pilot should check inlay selection, encoding, reader concepts and process KPIs. Teams planning scale need source tagging, data quality, supplier rules and software workflows. In that way, the whitepapers become more than reading material; they support workshops, internal alignment and project preparation.
The content connects RFID knowledge with practical product selection: RF labels, RFID inlays, readers, hardware, samples and consulting.
Inside an organisation, the most useful workflow is simple: choose the edition that matches the use case, mark the relevant assumptions and turn open questions into a readiness check, product test or pilot workshop. This helps retail operations, IT, buying, omnichannel and loss prevention work from the same decision base.
Reading the editions regularly builds an internal RFID knowledge base over time: item-level visibility, standards, business case, source tagging, inlay selection and the practical question of which products, data and processes are needed for the next test.
The library is most useful when teams have a clear search intent: understand RFID, compare standards, explain ROI, select suitable inlays or prepare source tagging. Each edition answers one practical question and helps define the next project step.
For better results, teams should read the whitepapers with a short question list: which process gap should be closed, which data is missing today, which product group is suitable and which metric decides whether a pilot should continue or stop?
This turns the library into a working tool. The content helps translate technical terms into decisions and makes it easier to prioritise next steps between management, IT, store operations, buying and loss prevention.
