Impinj xSpan Gateway

The Impinj xSpan gateway reader ensures continuous monitoring of marked equipment. In the field of RFID, readers and gateways make it possible to connect labeled objects to control and supervision software solutions. The Impinj xSpan Gateway Reader helps reduce operating costs and optimize sales by providing real-time inventory visibility and reducing the time spent locating and tracking items. It is designed for large applications in the retail, logistics, manufacturing and healthcare industries.

It provides the identity and authenticity of the marked items continuously, in addition, it indicates the direction of movement of the objects and allows to know if an object has left or entered the store or warehouse thanks to its intelligent ItemSens software platform. The Impinj xSpan Gateway provides businesses with exceptional inventory visibility and improves operational efficiency through improved customer service.

Description

  • Modes of operation: inventory and label management.
  • Power supply and control via a single PoE (Power over Ethernet) connection.
  • Low-profile and lightweight for easy installation on ceiling and walls.
  • Continuous asset tracking provides accurate, real-time inventory information.
  • The integrated phase array antenna supports 13 dual polarized beams and 3 sectors.
  • Equipped with transition detection: able to track objects as they move along a path.
  • A single xSpan Gateway provides coverage of up to 1,000 square feet in a rectangular area.
  • Multiple xSpans combined with other Impinj connectivity devices can cover larger areas.
  • Software options simplify configuration, application development, deployment and management.
  • Movement tracking and item identification helps improve loss prevention systems, detection of entry and exit events, and other portal and tag management applications that require two-way monitoring of items.
  • movements. Ideally suited for spaces such as hospitals and conference rooms, mid-size retail spaces, hallways and portals.
  • Common Applications: Inventory Management, Asset Tracking, and Dock Door Solutions in Retail, Healthcare and Supply Chain.
  • Top performance guaranteed at all times thanks to the patented Autopilot functionality which automatically optimizes the parameters of its environment.
