Overview

The Impinj Platform is a foundational connectivity framework that extends the Internet of Things (IoT) from the cloud down to physical items using RAIN RFID technology. It enables organizations to wirelessly connect everyday physical objects — such as apparel, assets, shipments, and medical supplies — to digital systems. The platform unifies RAIN RFID tag chips, reader chips, readers, embedded software, and services so that partners and customers can build high-performance, scalable IoT solutions for inventory management, asset tracking, supply chain optimization, and more. Designed to deliver enterprise-grade performance, accuracy, reliability, and ease of deployment, the platform supports discovering, engaging, and protecting tagged items across industrial, retail, logistics, and healthcare environments.
