Monza 5 & STP Source to speed item-level encoding

Impinj Inc announced the launch of two critical components for implementing item-level RFID across retail markets and supply chains. Impinj’s Monza 5 tag chip and STP source tagging platform will enable widespread scaling of RFID retail inventory management solutions, driven by the Item-Level RFID Initiative announced last November by leading retailers, suppliers and industry organizations.

Available now, Monza 5 is Impinj’s newest RFID tag chip. Designed for serializing items such as apparel, electronics, cosmetics, jewellery and pharmaceuticals, the chip breaks new ground in item-level tag performance. Monza 5 chips are optimized for single-use tag applications that demand the highest read reliability and lowest applied tag cost. In addition, Monza 5 tag chips deliver value on multiple fronts for item-level tagging: the design satisfies supplier and brand owner cost/performance requirements, maximizes RFID business results for retailers, and streamlines high volume inlay manufacturing.

The STP source tagging platform is a UHF RFID reader system with hardware and software optimized to streamline high-speed commissioning during item-level tagging. Utilizing Impinj Monza-based tags, STP is capable of encoding up to 1,750 tags per minute, thus enabling large-scale deployments. STP simplifies source tagging by supporting both inline and bulk encoding solutions.
