Wiliot introduced the Wiliot Gen3 IoT Pixel, the newest generation of its battery-free sensing technology.
“The Gen3 IoT Pixel represents the next leap forward in how real-time data can be captured across supply chains,” says Julien Bellanger, president, Wiliot. “Its enhanced performance and cost profile allow companies to deploy ambient IoT at new levels of performance and scale – fueling our AI platform with the continuous, high-fidelity data required for more efficient operations, lower waste, and smarter execution.”
Key takeaways:
· Together, the IoT Pixel and the Wiliot Intelligence Platform provide retailers, logistics providers, and supply chain companies with the real-time data foundation needed to understand the location, temperature, humidity, and movement of goods across complex, distributed networks.
· Building on Wiliot’s proven Gen2 design, the Gen3 IoT Pixel delivers higher performance, expanded energizing and read ranges, improved harvesting efficiency, and significantly lower unit costs.
· Its dual-band architecture – operating across 2.4 GHz and sub-1 GHz – supports longer-range energizing, more consistent broadcast reliability, and greater adaptability across supply chain environments, from distribution centers and trailers to retail backrooms and store floors.
· Roughly the size of a postage stamp and requiring no batteries, the Gen3 IoT Pixel broadcasts encrypted BLE signals that can be read by certified devices and access points. This creates an always-on sensing layer that streams real-world data from the physical environment directly into AI systems that can analyze and act on it instantly.
● Core solutions anchor the platform’s capabilities, including automated cycle counting (delivers continuous inventory visibility across defined areas without scanning or manual intervention); automated receiving (automatically confirms inbound shipments and reduces dock-to-stock times from days to hours); automated shipment verification (prevents mis-shipments by verifying outbound loads at the dock door in real time); reusable asset tracking (provides ongoing visibility into RTIs such as roll cages, totes, and racks to reduce shrink and optimize fleet utilization); and temperature and condition monitoring (tracks case-level temperature to protect perishables, enhance freshness, and support compliance).
● Together, these solutions allow enterprises to operate on continuous data rather than periodic scans, improving accuracy, reducing loss, and enabling automated, real-time decision-making from source to shelf.
