Impinj Flagship M800 Series Tag Chips Surpass 5 Billion Lifetime Shipments
5-billion-unit milestone announced as Impinj partners showcase leading-edge solutions based on Impinj M800 series and Impinj Gen2X at RFID Journal Live
The Impinj M800 series tag chip has become the company’s fastest-growing tag chip ever.
The M800 series delivers exceptional readability even in large tag populations, on densely packed items, and on traditionally hard-to-read items such as those containing liquids and metals. The M800 series includes support for Gen2X, an enhancement to the RAIN radio standard that speeds inventory, increases tag read range, declutters the environment, protects consumers, inhibits label and item counterfeiting, and reduces solution cost.
Wide industry adoption
Impinj partners have launched more than 85 inlays using M800 series tag chips. Inlays are the combined chip and antenna that are attached to or embedded in items to provide item connectivity. Among these inlays, using either the Impinj M830 or M850 tag chips, more than 40 have been quality tested and certified by Auburn University’s ARC program. These inlays are applied by enterprises to retail apparel, footwear, home goods, grocery, and other general merchandise.
“We’re pleased to see our partners’ enthusiasm for the M800 series, and the innovative range of products they’re producing,” said Gahan Richardson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Impinj Business Unit. “It’s already clear that our partners are leveraging the enhanced performance and manufacturability of these chips to develop small, high-performance inlays that help enterprises connect more items and increase their operational efficiency.”
To support partners in their rapid adoption, Impinj made investments in manufacturability and industrialization, quality assurance, and continuous improvement, as well as ensuring tagged items meet the rigorous quality standards enterprises require. In 2023, Impinj opened a 29,000-square-foot facility to support RAIN tag chip development and industrialization, inlay design and assembly, and solutions prototyping and testing. That facility includes tag chip bonders, inlay test machines, Voyantic test systems, anechoic chambers, and much more. Impinj has built and tested millions of inlays using M800 series tag chips to ensure quality and reliability.
The future of RAIN-enabled item visibility
Impinj solution partners, having seen the increased system performance made possible by the industry-leading M800 series tag chips, are launching solutions and devices with support for Gen2X to solve previously unsolvable enterprise use cases, reduce solution cost, or both.
“In our handheld inventory testing with the Urovo DT50P, which supports Gen2X, we have seen up to
