What if your supply chain could track products in real time, without batteries, barcodes, or constant maintenance?
In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I chat with Eric Biel, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Powercast, about how wireless power and RAIN RFID are transforming the way we manage logistics, compliance, and sustainability.
Eric breaks down how ambient RF energy can power sensors and RFID tags across distances, cutting out the need for batteries, reducing e-waste, and delivering the kind of real-time tracking that regulations like the EU’s Digital Product Passport will soon demand.
We explore:
🔋 How batteryless sensors are eliminating maintenance headaches
📦 The role of RAIN RFID in smarter inventory and asset tracking
🌍 Why wireless power is a practical answer to sustainability targets
📈 What supply chain leaders should stop doing if they want to cut emissions
Whether you’re looking to improve supply chain visibility, reduce electronic waste, or stay ahead of compliance demands, this one’s worth your time.
