Impinj, Inc. has launched the xArray gateway into full production, ushering in a new era of fixed-infrastructure RFID reader technology. Fueled by strong market demand from more than 30 certified partners and a wide range of end users around the globe, the xArray gateway is an integrated reader system featuring always-on wide-area monitoring of the identification and location of RAIN RFID tagged items.
Designed for large-scale item-level applications in retail, healthcare and manufacturing, the xArray gateway provides real-time item Intelligence events including each item’s identity, location and authenticity. When combined with the Impinj Platform, the xArray gateway gives businesses unprecedented inventory visibility, allowing them to improve their operational efficiency and provide better service to their customers.
Today, many businesses are unable to make sound decisions based on inventory data because the updates to those data are infrequent and often unreliable. This lack of real-time inventory visibility degrades operational efficiency and, ultimately, customer satisfaction. The xArray gateway provides continuously updated inventory information and real-time location of individual items; all without human intervention. This increases employee productivity and satisfaction by removing tedious inventory collection activities. Designed for easy installation and use in nearly any building or facility, the xArray gateway finally provides businesses with accurate inventory data.
The xArray gateway is a ceiling mounted reader system designed to free up valuable floor space. A single xArray gateway can visualize up to 1500 square feet (139 square meters) of floor space; multiple xArrays can cover a zone of any size and shape.
“The xArray gateway will forever alter inventory visibility by replacing infrequent, manual inventory taking using handheld RFID readers or barcode scanners with always-on, real-time automated inventory,” said Chris Diorio, Impinj’s CEO. “The advent of fixed-infrastructure inventory solutions based on xArray gateways will relieve employees from the drudgery of inventory taking, dramatically improve inventory visibility and provide heretofore unavailable information such as the real-time location of each individual item within a facility.”
