About RAIN RFID and the Impinj Platform

RAIN RFID can connect everything in your everyday life — from socks to strawberries to shipping pallets. It digitizes the physical world.

RAIN RFID is a passive, battery-free wireless technology. It is a flexible, low-cost solution, making it appealing to a wide range of industries — from retail to healthcare, manufacturing to hospitality.

Organizations use RAIN RFID to track, discover, engage, and protect items or cartons as they move through supply chains, warehouses, retail stores, and even hospitals. Nearly every day, we hear of new ways people are deploying RAIN RFID solutions to improve their business. Here are some common uses:

  • Automating inventory and asset tracking in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and many other business sectors
  • Identifying the source of products, enabling intelligent recalls of defective or dangerous items, such as tainted foods, defective toys, or expired medication
  • Enabling omnichannel fulfillment, so businesses can meet changing consumer demands and expectations
  • Providing visibility into the supply chain, yielding more efficient distribution channels and reduced business costs
  • Reducing business losses due to theft or inaccurate accounting of goods
  • Preventing the use of counterfeit products in the supply chain

The Impinj platform uses RAIN RFID to empower people around the world to connect, identify, locate, and authenticate billions of individual items — and we’re just getting started. We have enabled over 50 billion items to connect to the Internet of Things, in a wide range of industries. We’re inventing ways to bring more things online. If it’s a thing, Impinj will connect it.

Our Vision: Boundless IoT

Some people imagine the Internet of Things as a network of powered electronic devices. We think bigger. We’re expanding the internet’s reach by a factor of 1,000 — to apparel, packages, pallets, airline baggage, medical supplies, food, and so much more. Together with our partners, we’re driving efficiencies, reducing waste, enabling the circular economy, and ultimately, we hope, improving peoples’ lives.
