Impinj, Inc. today announced its partnership with Terso Solutions, Inc. under which it will provide Speedway readers and antennas for Terso Solutions' RFID-enabled medical cabinets to support management of valuable inventory directly at the point-of-use.

 

"After a rigorous examination of several options and potential partners, we feel that Impinj has the best offering of products and value-added services on a worldwide basis," said Joe Pleshek, director of business development for Terso Solutions. "Impinj's deep technical expertise and customer-centric approach has allowed us to respond to the demands of our customers and effectively integrate UHF Gen 2 capabilities into our product portfolio."

 

Terso and Impinj have jointly developed the UHF Gen 2 based application in six months. "Working with Terso Solutions has been an absolute pleasure," said Brad Johnson, senior sales director for Impinj. "Terso's ability to respond to the market quickly and effectively makes them an ideal fit for the burgeoning RFID industry – their forward-thinking nature allows them to be a leader in the inventory management segment."

 

The compact storage system (44"H x 24"W x and 22"D) combines RFID, secure access control, and network connectivity to provide item-level supply-chain management for highly-valuable goods, such as biological samples, cardiovascular products, reagents, Class II pharmaceuticals and specimens.

 

Since users and manufacturers of high-value goods frequently lose inventory control and visibility shortly before point-of-use, RFID-enabled cabinets can provide increased security and decreased costs by collecting and transmitting usage data back to clients worldwide.

 

Impinj, Inc. develops UHF Gen 2 RFID solutions for both item-level and supply-chain tagging. Impinj provides products and solutions comprising high-performance tag (News - Alert) chips, readers, reader chips, software, antennas, and systems integration. Its products provide performance, integration and cost effectiveness to its customer base in applications in inventory management, asset tracking, authentication and serialization.

 

Formed in 2005, Terso Solutions is headquartered in Madison, Wis. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Promega Corporation, which develops innovative solutions and technical support for the life sciences industry. In 1999, Promega began developing RFID-enabled cabinets and freezers, as well as a Web-hosted business application, in order to automate product distribution and inventory management of its own high-value products.
