Identiv has announced a partnership with InPlay. The collaboration will focus on delivering Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled tags and IoT solutions by combining Identiv’s best-in-class BLE tag engineering and design expertise with InPlay’s NanoBeacon technology.

The partnership is set to produce BLE-enabled IoT solutions tailored to high-value industrial use cases, such as cold-chain temperature compliance for food and logistics providers, and other high-value use cases such as asset tracking and patient tracking within healthcare settings. Identiv’s specialty designs will be powered by InPlay’s IN100 SoC chipset family and manufactured at Identiv’s state-of-the-art facility in Thailand using the latest BLE production technologies.

Key industries: Cold-chain monitoring, industrial automation and healthcare

The initial focus of this collaboration will be BLE-enabled cold-chain monitoring, a critical need for maintaining temperature compliance in the food and logistics industries. Future applications will expand to industrial automation, healthcare related applications, smart packaging and enhanced security for high-value assets.

“Partnering with InPlay enables us to drive BLE technology as the next-gen standard for IoT applications,” said Kirsten Newquist, the CEO of Identiv. “We are excited to develop solutions that meet the demands of cold-chain monitoring, particularly as this technology evolves in industries like food safety, logistics and healthcare.”

Amir Khoshniyati, the executive vice poresident and general manager at Identiv, said, “This partnership strengthens both companies’ product offerings, supports the expansion of the BLE market, and accelerates shared business growth. We eagerly anticipate unveiling our new designs powered by InPlay in the near future.”
