Impinj, a Gen 2 RFID solution developer has provided its latest Speedway reader to NEC Corporation for the development of an advanced RFID system to increase readability of RFID tags in demanding manufacturing and inventory control applications.
As decided by the two RFID giants, NEC Corporation would integrate Impinj’s high-performance RFID readers with its proprietary radio wave reflection technology to develop its RFID gateway system. The newest RFID-enabled inventory control system would be official available by the end of this year.
Dimitri Desmons, vice president of RFID marketing at Impinj quoted,
The tag throughput rates and data accuracy achieved with the combination of Impinj’s proven technology and NEC’s innovation significantly benefits the growing number of RFID-based supply chain management systems.
The gate system that combines a number of RFID tags simultaneously to produce accurate supply chain data, is applicable in different uses including inspection systems in manufacturing lines and inventory control systems.
Impinj’s Speedway reader meets the two significant RFID performance criteria for supply chain environments. These are high tag throughput rates and high read reliability.
It also testifies superior read reliability with throughput beyond 1000 tags per second in challenging supply chain environments and 200 tags per second in dense reader environments.
