Identiv Awarded Schreiner Group "Supplier of the Year" for Secure IoT Medical Device Authentication and Anti-Counterfeiting RFID Inlays


Identiv was awarded "Supplier of the Year" by Schreiner Group GmbH & Co. KG for its innovative device-level authentication, anti-counterfeiting RFID devices in medical equipment and consumables. These RFID inlays also work with hospital medical devices currently used in applications including treating patients suffering from COVID-19 and other respiratory conditions, as well as authenticating consumables for analytical equipment.

This year marks the ninth time Schreiner Group has recognized their best supplier in terms of on-time delivery, quality, pricing, and customer service. It is also the first time a supplier of radio-frequency identification (RFID) devices received the honor.

The acknowledgment is attributed to Identiv's high compliance score: the company earned 95 out of 100 points and is rated an "A" supplier, joining well-known prior recipients like 3M and FLEXcon. It is a particularly notable achievement in a year dominated by widespread disruptions in logistics and supply chain paired with an unforecasted high demand for authentication products.

The two companies have worked together for over 15 years and Identiv is currently supplying RFID devices to Schreiner Group through 2023 to provide secure authentication in the Internet of Things (IoT), with several million RFID devices from its technology portfolio already deployed and connected to high-tech labels and one-time-use medical equipment in hospitals throughout Europe. Identiv's RFID Inlays provide contactless device identification, optimize processes during medical procedures (i.e., checking for compatibility between different types of equipment), and protect patients' health and safety from counterfeits.
