Unifying RFID Management: 42Gears’ SureMDM now supports Impinj RFID Readers

From retail stores tracking real-time inventory to logistics hubs monitoring pallets in transit, RFID readers are critical to modern operations. Devices like Impinj RFID Readers deliver fast, automated data capture that powers everything from shelf replenishment to supply chain visibility.

But as RFID deployments scale, IT admins face their own set of challenges managing them. 

Compatibility issues are a major pain point. Keeping firmware versions aligned across all readers is often a manual, time-consuming task. And with readers spread across multiple locations, remote visibility and control are usually limited or non-existent.

Security is another top concern—unsecured readers can be vulnerable to data breaches and unauthorized access. Impinj readers do offer strong security features like certificates and login attempt lockouts, but making sure they’re properly configured and maintained? That’s on IT.

Until now.

SureMDM now supports Impinj RFID Readers. That means your IT team can now monitor, update, and secure Impinj readers—all from a single console.
