Identiv and InPlay Partner for BLE-Enabled IoT Solutions in Cold-Chain, Healthcare, and Automation

Identiv announced a strategic partnership with InPlay, a provider of wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions. 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 innovative 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.

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.
