At Impinj, our vision is a boundless Internet of Things.
Today, most people imagine the Internet of Things as a vast network of powered electronic devices.
We think bigger. Much bigger.
We're inventing a future in which not just electronic devices are connected, but every item in our everyday world is connected – expanding the Internet's reach by a factor of a thousand to retail apparel, packages, letters, automotive parts, airline baggage, pallets, medical supplies, food, and much, much more.
Delivering the identity, location, and authenticity of each and every one.
We've enabled connectivity for more than a hundred billion items to date, and we're just getting started.
If you bought apparel from a retailer like Zara, run a foot race like the New York City marathon, personalized a drink from a Coca Cola freestyle soda fountain, or checked your bags with Delta Air Lines, then you've experienced Impinj.
Together with our partners, we help retailers manage their inventory, race organizers track your running time, restaurants deliver fresh food, and airlines ensure your luggage lands when you do – creating delightful, trusted experiences for all of us.
We make miniature battery-free radio chips, each smaller than a grain of sand, that our partners add to an item's label or to its packaging and wirelessly read using Impinj-enabled readers in stores, at footrace start and finish, in drink dispensers, and on airplane belt loaders, individually connecting and identifying every one. And that is our mission, to connect every thing, so businesses and people can track, find, and manage what matters to them and to you and to me.
Our platform comprising those chips and readers, plus software and capabilities, uses a wireless technology called RAIN RFID. With a range of up to 10 meters and speeds of hundreds of items per second, retailers can verify the contents of a shipping box without opening it. Race organizers can tell you not only your finish time, but your split times as well. And airlines can send you a text message that your luggage is on your flight.
We're driving a future in which trillions of items are connected every year, where businesses and people engage those items at manufacturing through the supply chain, in stores, at point of sale, to your home, and eventually to recycling, giving every one of those items a digital life.
Driving efficiencies, reducing waste, enabling the circular economy, and – ultimately, we believe – improving people’s lives, which – in the end – is what really matters.
We invite you to join us on our journey creating a boundless Internet of Things.
