Biggest changeThrough our channel partnerships, we have early traction in each of these use cases and can see the value that RFID and BLE provides. We believe the EU’s forthcoming Digital Product Passport ("DPP") regulations also provide some significant tailwinds for growth in these areas. The third growth initiative is the expansion of our BLE/multi-component technology platform.

BLE is a next generation technology for IoT, providing benefits for certain applications that are challenging to address with traditional RFID technologies.
In addition, we may work with suppliers to improve process control and product design. For most of our product manufacturing, we utilize a global sourcing strategy which allows us to achieve economies of scale and uniform quality standards for our products. On an ongoing basis, we analyze the need to add alternative sources for both our products 5 and components.
