Impinj Inc. and METRO Group will jointly develop a comprehensive ultra high frequency (UHF) Gen 2 item-level radio frequency identification (RFID) technology solution for tagging high-value garments and accessories.

Impinj and METRO Group will use Impinj’s GrandPrix UHF RFID solution to provide real-time visibility into METRO's retail garment operations.

This platform comprises Impinj's UHF Gen 2 Speedway readers with application-specific near-field antennas and item-level tags powered by Impinj's Monza UHF Gen 2 silicon chips.

"METRO recognizes the importance of adopting a single, global RFID standard for tagging pallets, cases and items and we anticipate a significant return on investment for tagging high-value garments," said Dr. Gerd Wolfram, managing director, MGI METRO Group Information Technology.

Impinj said its GrandPrix solution addresses an important deployment criteria for supply chain and item-level environments - high inventory reliability.

Impinj's Speedway reader and Monza chips carry EPCglobal's Gen 2 Conformance Certification and Interoperability Certification marks, ensuring conformance to and interoperability with worldwide RFID standards.
