Indy RS2000 SiP and Monza R6 on-metal inlays can be used to track IT assets like hard drives in server racks and NAS units using RAIN RFID. Tags take up little space and enable real-time monitoring of which rack and slot a hard drive is located in, if any are missing, and if a hard drive has been moved. The Indy RS2000 lowers the cost of embedding RFID reader capability in devices and can connect up to four antennas, while on-metal tags with the Monza R6 provide optimized performance for tracking assets in tight spaces.

1. IT Asset Tracking Demonstration
Indy RS2000 SiP and Monza R6 on-metal inlays

2. Track IT Assets with RAIN RFID
Identify and locate hard
drives in server racks or
Network Attached
Storage units

3. RAIN RFID Benefits
Real-time monitoring:
• Know which rack
and slot hard drive is
located in
• Identify which hard
drives are missing
• Know if hard drive
has moved to a
different rack

4. On-Metal RAIN RFID Tags
Tags take up little
space, enabling use
in tight spaces

5. How It Works

6. Impinj Indy RS2000 SiP
• Impinj Indy RS2000
lowers cost of
embedding RAIN
RFID reader capability
• Only three
connections to
start reading tags
• Connect up to four
antennas
• Raspberry Pi
functions as IoT
component, sending
data to cloud

7. Configure Rack with Coax Antenna
• An antenna is placed
in back of NAS for
reading of tagged
assets
• Larger server racks
can be configured with
a series of antennas

8. On-Metal Tags
Omni-ID tags with
Impinj Monza R6
provide optimized
performance within
space constrained
areas
