Impinj RAIN RFID Software vs Sensormatic TrueVUE Cloud

Impinj RAIN RFID Software manages edge devices and processes data from connected smart items. Speedway Connect provides a web interface for remotely configuring Impinj readers or gateways and accessing inventory, location and direction data. ItemEncode uses pipelined Speedway readers to encode up to 9,500 RAIN RFID tags per minute, supports Impinj and other chip brands, multiple serialization and encoding schemes, and encoding verification. Its machine licenses currently support Impinj Speedway readers. Impinj Authentication Service uses standards-based cryptographic methods to authenticate supported tag chips, including Impinj M700 series, and exposes an API for authentication requests and secure access for product-authentication providers. Impinj says its Authenticity solution can verify hundreds of items in seconds across read ranges from a few centimeters to 10 meters. Partner software addresses inventory, asset, shipment and work-in-process tracking. The platform is presented for retail, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and other industries. Pricing is on request.

Sensormatic TrueVUE Cloud gives retailers RFID-based, item-level inventory intelligence for inventory visibility and omnichannel order fulfillment. Its mobile app uses RFID to locate styles, colors, and sizes, support BOPIS orders, and help replenish missing merchandise. Sensormatic says rapid cycle counts and continuous item-movement updates can maintain up to 99% inventory accuracy. It also says timely restocking can reduce out-of-stocks by up to 30% and unnecessary markdowns by up to 25%. Responsive web dashboards show real-time inventory data, event notifications, and summary or drill-down reports across business units or the enterprise. The API-first product supports connections to ERP, WMS, POS, and other enterprise systems through APIs and connectors. The SaaS version is built on Google Cloud Platform; a PaaS option lets retailers deploy the capabilities on their own cloud platform and tailor integrations. Platforms are Android, iOS, web, and API. It is paid, with pricing on request.
