The new Impinj E710, E510, and E310 RAIN RFID reader chips are
high-performance, low-power systems-on-chips (SoCs) that extend the
item connectivity opportunity to hundreds of billions of things
worldwide. With industry-leading system integration and easy-to-use
development tools, they enable the development of quick-to-market
IoT devices that reliably identify, locate, and authenticate
connected things.
A New Benchmark for Performance, Integration, and Ease of
Use
Impinj RAIN RFID products have already connected tens of
billions of things worldwide, helping enterprises drive digital
transformation, improve consumer experiences, increase operational
efficiencies, and better manage inventory and assets. Used by
millions of devices, Impinj’s previous generation of reader chips,
the Indy series, set the reader chip performance benchmark for more
than a decade. The new-generation Impinj E710, E510, and E310
reader chips deliver record-setting performance, integration, and
ease of use with:
- Up to 2x better receive sensitivity for reliable performance in
new and existing solutions.
- Up to 80% smaller RAIN RFID system designs ideal for small,
next-generation IoT devices.
- 50% lower chip power consumption, supporting battery-powered,
energy-efficient devices.
- Software- and pin-compatible designs for easy performance
upgrades and design reuse.
"We are thrilled to usher in a new wave of partner innovation
with the release of the Impinj E710, E510, and E310 reader chips,
which provide unparalleled ease of use, silicon integration, and
performance," said Impinj CEO Chris Diorio. "These new reader chips
deliver groundbreaking advancements to enable ubiquitous item
connectivity. They represent yet another bold step toward Impinj’s
vision of a boundless IoT."
Embedded RAIN Functionality Advances IoT Device
Innovation
Available now, the Impinj E710, E510, and E310 chips enable IoT
devices to reliably identify up to hundreds of items per
second—including apparel, pallets, parcels, pharmaceuticals,
automotive parts, and electronics—at distances of a few millimeters
to many meters, without line-of-sight. The Impinj E710 provides
superior performance and supports the monitoring of large item
populations. The Impinj E510 is the mid-range option in price and
performance and is optimized for battery-powered devices. And the
lower-cost Impinj E310 delivers performance optimized for
close-proximity devices. The chips embed into devices, adding RAIN
functionality and enabling new solutions, including:
- Mobile devices, autonomous robots, and fixed and handheld
readers for inventory and asset management, to increase speed
and accuracy when counting and locating items and provide
visibility that drives efficient operations and supply-chain
automation.
- Point of sale devices, smart shelves and cabinets for
frictionless retail, to monitor goods and deliver fast,
touch-free, and intuitive automated checkout.
- Smart appliances, gaming devices, and security systems for
enhanced consumer electronics that connect to everyday items
and deliver ultimate service and convenience.
Michelin, a longstanding Impinj partner, plans to equip every
new passenger car tire with RAIN RFID by 2023 and envisions RAIN
RFID delivering advanced connectivity throughout the full tire
manufacturing supply chain to improve tire management, performance,
and safety.
"Michelin is convinced that the innovation, in terms of
performance and affordability, in the new Impinj reader chips is a
key achievement towards tire connectivity with RAIN RFID
technology. Performant devices are a key factor of success to
foster the tire market adoption," said Jérôme Barrand, RFID program
leader at Michelin. “In the coming years, we expect diverse types
of read points to be deployed across a large range of use cases
over the entire tire lifecycle. This will be a key enabler to
connected mobility services for our customers.”
Dozens of New IoT Devices Already in Development
With the new reader chips, developers can quickly design IoT
devices that meet regulatory requirements in more than 85
countries. More than 20 Impinj OEM device partners worldwide,
including CAEN RFID, Chainway, Convergence Systems Limited,
Hopeland, JADAK (a Novanta company), MTI, RoyalRay, and SILION
TECH, are already developing dozens of products based on the new
Impinj reader chips.
"The new, highly integrated RAIN RFID system-on-chip and
development kits used across the Impinj E710, E510, and E310 reader
chips allow us to reuse design effort across multiple development
projects, significantly reducing our time to market," said Albert
Yang, general manager at Chainway. "We are pleased today to
introduce two new wearable devices, a handheld reader and a
printer, built on these new Impinj reader chips."
