Several dozen sites, including a large U.S. retailer and a private school in India, are testing the company’s tag, which offers a read range of up to 80 feet without obstructions, and about 15 feet when attached to a person’s body.
NBC News provided a look inside one of Amazon.com’s fulfillment centers, and boy, could the online retailer use a little help from RFID.
Lithuanian company Klaipedos Baldai attaches EPC RFID tags to pallets of products it sends to IKEA stores worldwide, ensuring that only the correct items are loaded onto trucks.
Three new tags join two existing models—all made with Impinj’s Monza 5 chip—resulting in a lineup intended to provide greater versatility with a variety of sizes and, in some cases, longer read ranges.
