Checkpoint Achieves ARC Certification with New M800 Series Impinj Chips

Checkpoint Systems is one of the first manufacturers to get an ARC-certified RFID inlay fitted with brand-new M800 series Impinj chips.

Impinj’s M830 and M850 RAIN RFID tag chips are considered the next generation of RFID technology and with good reason. These brand-new chips deliver improved readability and better sensitivity. They have a 30% lower power consumption and a small footprint, making them ideal for use across shoes, apparel, general merchandise, and more.

The M800 series also uses Impinj Protected Mode, which protects consumer privacy and increases retail self-checkout and loss prevention abilities.

“Our Impinj M800 series comprises the most advanced tag chips in the market,” said Chris Diorio, Impinj co-founder and CEO. “With enhanced performance and features, this series is designed to help enterprises read the right tag, at the right place, at the right time.”

A highly advanced chip deserves an equally advanced inlay, so Checkpoint installed the M800 Impinj chips into its versatile range of RFID inlays, including Vortex, which is popular with retailers, and Tyfung, which is specially designed for logistics.

“Securing an industry-recognized ARC certification for the Impinj M800 series shows our commitment to staying ahead of the game where innovation and customer confidence is concerned,” Inge Fleuren, global product solution manager RFID by Checkpoint Systems, said. “Checkpoint customers expect high performance and industry-leading tech, and we’ll always strive to give it to them. The swift installation and testing of these inlays are a testament to the collaborative abilities of our teams across Europe, China, and the US.”

By combining the new M800 Impinj chip with an ARC certification as part of their chosen inlay, Checkpoint clients can continue the journey towards next-generation business and retail innovations. These include frictionless checkout, open-plan experiential retail spaces, and asset tracking through the supply and custody chain with high-performance RFID.
