Impinj Gen2X enables more reliable autonomous track-and-trace, self-checkout and loss prevention by improving reads on dense, liquid and metal-containing products.
Zebra is upgrading its portfolio of RFID handhelds, sleds, and fixed readers with support for Impinj Gen2X to improve handheld and overhead reading of hard-to-read items, boost the accuracy and speed of autonomous track-and-trace solutions in challenging conditions, and use RFID tags to help inhibit fraudulent items and returns.
RFID tagging is now expanding into categories such as grocery, jewellery, health and beauty, and pharmaceuticals – product types that were historically difficult to tag and inventory, yet are important to achieving item-level visibility across enterprise operations.
Zebra devices with Gen2X support are available now, including handhelds - Zebra MC33 family, TC22R, TC501, TC701, sleds - Zebra RFD40 family, RFD90 family, and fixed/overhead readers - Zebra FXR90, FX9600, FX7500, ATR7000). Gen2X capabilities will be available across Zebra’s RFID portfolio via seamless firmware upgrades.
What Gen2X Helps Retailers And Enterprises Do: As a leading RAIN RFID pioneer and innovator, Impinj developed Gen2X to address these real-world challenges and improve autonomous fixed reading solutions at enterprise scale, enabling reliable item visibility across small retail merchandise, densely packed items, and products containing liquids and metals.
These innovations now support use cases ranging from supply chain traceability and overhead inventory visibility to self-checkout and loss prevention. Extending RFID tagging to more items and use cases empowers enterprises to automate workflows using Physical Intelligence: the reliable real-world visibility enterprise AI systems need to see everything, waste nothing, and act instantly.
By enabling Gen2X across our handhelds, sleds, and fixed readers, we’re helping customers achieve more reliable reads, faster inventory, and greater accuracy, especially in challenging environments.
