One Infrastructure, Many Solutions

The Impinj platform is a comprehensive set of RAIN RFID hardware and software products on which businesses develop applications. By choosing solutions built on this scalable and flexible platform, retailers can grow and adapt their deployments over time with multiple applications built on one infrastructure.

Impinj’s integrated RAIN RFID platform spans endpoints, connectivity, and software that is easy to deploy and use. It all starts with a tag on an item—Impinj Monza endpoint ICs attach to individual items, providing a unique identifier and enabling connectivity devices to determine the item’s identity, location, and authenticity. Impinj Monza endpoint ICs deliver unmatched versatility and data integrity, ensuring item-level visibility across the entire retail enterprise.

Automate Operations

Drive online and in-store efficiencies with accurate, real-time inventory data integrated with the enterprise applications that run retail operations. Using the Impinj platform, retailers can optimize inventory data, unveiling insights to confidently make decisions that steer their business to success.

Delight Customers

Engage shoppers at every turn with seamless interactions and enhanced digital experiences. With Impinj Item Intelligence, shopping is elevated by connecting items to interactive in-store applications such as digital signs, magic mirrors, and self-checkout. These RAIN-enabled interactive applications grab customers’ attention, provide information during the buying decision process, and engage shoppers in the store while products are in their hands.

Omnichannel Operations Shoppers’ choices are no longer limited to what is on the store shelf. Retailers must deliver what their customers want, when they want it, or risk losing the sale. With the Impinj platform retailers can efficiently sell inventory distributed across all stores and distribution and fulfillment centers. By delivering a seamless experience with real-time inventory visibility that provides accurate information about every product, retailers can boost conversions and improve customer experience.

Store Operations Relying on manual inventory counts doesn’t deliver the speed, accuracy, or insight needed in today’s highly competitive environment. With the Impinj platform retailers can provide real-time information about an item’s identity, location, and authenticity to retail systems. Efficiently operate stores with visibility into every item on the show floor and in the stock room. Accurate inventory data can minimize process steps, eliminate searching, and avoid confusion—allowing staff to focus on customers.

Supply Chain Optimization Supply chain operators rely on audits to catch inbound shipping errors and are exposed to charge-backs for outbound shipping errors. The Impinj platform allows retailers to verify operations at every step in the process of moving goods from manufacturer to store and into customers’ hands. Retailers can even confirm an item’s authenticity to reduce counterfeiting. Pallets, cases and items are automatically identified as they move through the supply chain. The result? Accurate data that is automatically and instantly updated to support an agile and intelligent system that moves the right goods to the right location every time.

Loss Identification and Prevention The same RAIN RFID tagging system that gives retailers in-depth inventory insight also contributes to loss prevention. With Impinj Item Intelligence, retailers can be alerted when items enter or leave specific zones within the store. Item identification, location and movement data helps retailers make smart decisions to protect stores and inventory while preventing lost sales due to lost inventory. The Impinj platform can also be used to identify whether an item is authentic or to access additional information about its source and supply route.

RETAIL ITEM INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS

Enhanced Shopper Experience Shoppers expect easy checkout, readily available information, and immediate customer service. The Impinj platform automatically and wirelessly connects items to interactive in-store applications such as digital signs, magic mirrors, self-checkout and kiosks. These RAIN-enabled interactive applications grab customers’ attention, provide information during the buying decision and keep shoppers engaged in the store. Deliver a new experience that grabs customers’ attention, provides information during the buying decision, and keeps shoppers engaged in the store.

Retail Analytics Retailers rely on the insights they gain from the data online shoppers leave behind. The Impinj platform allows that same actionable data to be gathered from physical stores. Impinj Item Intelligence answers questions like: what items are brought into fitting rooms together or what digital content most often leads to conversion. Executives can also address operational concerns such as performance metrics for replenishment, conversion, and loss prevention.

RAIN RFID BASICS

RAIN RFID is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves and low-cost tag chips to identify and track objects. RAIN RFID takes the barcoding concept and digitizes it for the modern world, providing the ability to:

• Uniquely identify an individual item beyond just its product type

• Identify items without direct line-of-sight at a distance of up to 30 feet

• Identify thousands of items per second, simultaneously

• Identify the location of items to within 1.5 meters

How it works:

1. Attach Impinj-powered RAIN RFID tags to items, boxes, and packages.

2. Use Impinj readers and gateways (handheld, overhead, or on walls) to wirelessly identify andlocate tagged items in the store and throughout the supply chain.

3. See accurate, real-time data about inventory across stores and distribution centers in enterpriseretail systems.
