Harness the Power of Data with Autonomous RAIN RFID Reading
The future of RAIN RFID relies on autonomous readers that help unlock the power of data to optimize efficiency, speed, and customer experiences.
Today’s most innovative enterprises are blazing a new trail with next-level automation and supply chain integrity that drive efficiency and enhance customers’ interactions with their brands. Their secret? Autonomous RAIN RFID reading, where items are automatically scanned as they pass by readers installed at key transition points.
Brands already leading with autonomous reading
Fast Retailing added autonomous RAIN RFID readers to its stores to power the automated self-checkout kiosks used by Uniqlo and other brands, extending the value of its RAIN RFID deployments while offering customers a rich in-store purchasing experience. On social media, customers have called Uniqlo’s self-checkout – which captures customers’ purchases without requiring individually scanning each item’s barcode -- “retail magic.” With RAIN RFID automated self-checkout, Uniqlo reduced shopping time, cut labor costs, and refined sales data to power intelligent merchandising.
UPS has publicly touted that autonomous RFID reading enables the shipping and logistics giant to eliminate 20 million manual package scans daily, successfully automating operations for nearly any type or size of item. Using autonomous reading, UPS expects to increase package throughput, improve customer service, and drive cost savings as it eliminates $500 million in non-operating expenses by 2025.
Boost accuracy, consistency, reliability
Always-on, autonomous RAIN RFID reading introduces a level of consistency and accuracy not possible with manual handheld scanning, opening new possibilities for enterprises to earn customers’ trust and loyalty, and drive significant cost savings.
Autonomous reading provides a continuous flow of data about every item, helping enterprises ensure items are always in the right place at the right time. Putting down handheld readers also frees up human capacity, allowing employees to focus on high-value responsibilities such as optimizing operations or engaging with customers. All of this helps support a brand’s resilience and reputation.
We know the stakes are high. A misread can result in an incomplete sale or a missed package delivery. Not only does this mean lost revenue and inefficiency, it also undermines brand trust. Accuracy is paramount, and Impinj has embarked on a journey to achieve industry-leading accuracy. Our products — from the Impinj M800 series tag chips to our RAIN RFID readers and reader chips — offer best-in-market readability and reliability.
Unlock new levels of visibility with autonomous reading
Impinj has long stood for quality, reliability, and performance. Our goal is for enterprises to trust us and our partners to solve their unsolved problems. Across our reader and tag products, we are driving advancements in RAIN RFID readability and reliability that solve challenging use cases and support autonomous RAIN RFID reading. We believe it is essential to the success of any organization requiring item-level visibility into the flow of its goods.
There will always be cases where handheld readers are the right tools, but the most successful brands will be those that gain the accuracy and scale delivered by autonomous reading. Now is the time to embrace a future in which autonomous RAIN RFID reading helps brands harness the power of data to optimize efficiency, speed, and customer experiences.
