Impinj Partners With Intel on Collaborative Offerings

Global computer technology company Intel Corp. and Seattle-based RFID provider Impinj are teaming up to offer EPC ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID-based platforms that systems integrators could build into inventory-management and real-time location solutions for the retail industry.
The platforms feature Intel's Retail Sensor Platform (RSP)—consisting of a UHF RFID reader and the Intel Retail Gateway, which collects and manages data regarding store inventory—combined with Impinj's tag chips and ItemSense software. The gateway can also manage data culled from other technologies, such as video analytics, or sensors that measure shoe or shirt fits for customers, and then link that information to RFID read data. Impinj will market the Intel-Impinj systems, though the company has not yet named the release date.
