Identiv, Inc. announced ID-Pixels 3.0, a family of next-generation Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) inlays and labels, built on Wiliot’s Gen3 IC, that enables organizations to continuously sense, track, and understand the state of goods across complex supply chains.
"Identiv was an early manufacturer of Wiliot-based BLE labels at scale, and ID-Pixels 3.0 builds on that foundation with a battery-free, cost-efficient solution for mass deployment,” says Dr. Manfred Mueller, COO of Identiv. “Combining BLE, sensing, and a unique digital identity in a single label, it enables real-time visibility and condition monitoring across physical supply chains.”
Key takeaways:
· ID-Pixels 3.0 is designed for high-volume, real-world deployments across retail, logistics, pharmaceuticals, food, and smart packaging industries.
· The label combines a compact form factor, energy harvesting, and integrated sensing to deliver continuous data without the cost and maintenance of batteries.
· The self-adhesive label, approximately 33 mm x 60 mm, harvests energy from ambient Bluetooth and UHF signals, eliminating the need for batteries while enabling scalable deployment across millions of items. Each label is encoded with a unique digital ID and can capture key data points such as location, temperature, humidity, and light, providing persistent visibility into the condition and movement of goods.
· By integrating with the Wiliot Physical AI platform, ID-Pixels 3.0 allows this continuous stream of sensor data to be translated into actionable insights, supporting applications such as automated inventory tracking, shipment verification, asset tracking, and cold chain monitoring.
“When we introduced our IoT Pixels, Identiv became an important part of the broader ecosystem bringing this technology to market,” says Amir Khoshniyati, VP at Wiliot. “With the recently released Gen3 capabilities, coupled with our Physical AI platform, we’re building on that collaboration to expand the availability of tags and strengthen the ecosystem, ensuring we can meet growing market demand and enable enterprises to digitize their supply chains with continuous, real-time intelligence.”
