Wiliot is a technology company specializing in ambient IoT solutions that connect physical products and reusable assets to digital systems without the use of batteries. The company’s platform combines ultra-low-cost Bluetooth sensors, known as IoT Pixels, with cloud-based analytics to deliver continuous, real-time visibility across supply chains.
Wiliot’s technology is used by retailers, logistics providers, and packaging operators to automate inventory tracking, verify shipments, monitor temperature and handling conditions, and improve control of reusable transport items (RTIs) such as pallets, totes, and roll cages.
Ambient IoT and IoT Pixels
At the core of Wiliot’s offering are its battery-free IoT Pixels—thin, label-like sensors that harvest energy from ambient radio frequency signals. These sensors broadcast encrypted Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals that can be detected by certified access points and gateways deployed across warehouses, trailers, and retail environments.
Because the sensors do not rely on batteries, they are designed to operate at large scale with minimal maintenance. IoT Pixels can capture and transmit data such as location, movement, temperature, humidity, and light exposure, creating a continuous sensing layer across physical operations.
The Wiliot Intelligence Platform
Data generated by IoT Pixels is processed through the Wiliot Intelligence Platform, which converts raw sensor signals into operational intelligence. The platform supports real-time visibility, event detection, and automated workflows that integrate with enterprise systems such as WMS, TMS, and ERP platforms.
Rather than relying on periodic scans or manual counts, the platform enables continuous awareness of where assets and products are located and what conditions they have experienced throughout their journey.
Core Supply Chain Applications
Wiliot’s platform supports several core supply chain and reusable packaging use cases, including:
- Automated shipment verification at outbound dock doors
- Automated receiving and dock-to-stock confirmation
- Continuous cycle counting without handheld scanning
- Tracking and management of reusable assets such as pallets, roll cages, and containers
- Temperature and condition monitoring for perishable goods
These applications are designed to reduce manual labor, minimize shrink and loss, and enable faster, data-driven decision-making across distributed networks.
Role in Reusable Packaging and RTI Systems
Within reusable packaging systems, Wiliot’s technology is used to provide visibility into asset location, dwell time, and utilization. By monitoring when RTIs enter or exit defined zones, the platform helps operators identify imbalances, improve asset turns, and reduce losses across closed-loop supply chains.
Battery-free sensing also enables long-term deployment on both consumable and durable assets, supporting use cases that are difficult to address with traditional RFID or battery-powered tracking solutions.
Physical AI and Automation
Wiliot positions its platform as a data foundation for what it describes as “Physical AI”—AI-driven systems that interpret real-world conditions and trigger automated actions. In addition to event-based alerts, the platform supports AI-assisted analysis that helps users identify exceptions, misplaced assets, or condition risks without manual investigation.
As adoption expands, Wiliot continues to emphasize automation and scalability as organizations look to operate on continuous data rather than intermittent checks.
