Impinj xSpan Datasheet

o Power and control through a single power over Ethernet (PoE) connection

o Software options simplify configuration, application development, deployment and

management

1.2 Key Features

• Always-on monitoring maximizes inventory accuracy and reduces business operational

costs by providing constant visibility of tagged items within a rectangular area.

• Movement detection minimizes time spent locating and tracking items – improving

supply chain efficiency and reducing material loss.

• Ease of use accelerates solution implementation, minimizes time-to-value for RAIN

deployments, simplifies RFID infrastructure management, and lowers total cost of

infrastructure ownership.

2 APPLICATIONS

Engineered for large-scale item-level applications in retail, healthcare and manufacturing, the

xSpan Gateway provides real-time Item Intelligence events including each item’s identity and

authenticity. When combined with the Impinj platform, the xSpan Gateway provides

businesses with exceptional inventory visibility, allowing them to improve their operational

efficiency and provides better service to their customers.

2.1 Markets and Applications

• For retailers xSpan increases on-shelf availability and conversion while reducing labor

costs and inefficiencies due to manual cycle counts. xSpan enhances front store/back

store inventory management and reduces losses and shrinkage by facilitating exit

detection and powering EAS solutions.

• For healthcare providers xSpan reduces inventory costs and supply waste, saves time

locating supplies, ensures authenticity, and improves billing accuracy. xSpan minimizes

time locating equipment while ensuring that the right equipment is in the right place at

the right time, and reduces equipment rental costs and loss of equipment.

• For manufacturers the xSpan increases production speed and reduces time spent

managing returnable containers and identifying parts. xSpan improves efficiency by

ensuring accurate material flows from receiving, through the production process and out

dock doors.

• For RAIN RFID system integrators xSpan features built-in automation and a suite of

configuration and development tools to ensure peak performance and accelerate

business application development. xSpan lowers the cost of deployment and total cost

of infrastructure ownership and management.
