Wiliot has developed battery-free IoT sensors delivered as stickers - IoT Pixels - that harvest energy from radio waves and transmit data on location, temperature, and movement to a cloud-based AI platform. The technology eliminates the infrastructure constraints of traditional RFID systems, which rely on fixed read points, and overcomes the cost and error rates of manual scanning. Rather than creating operational choke points, Wiliot's approach provides continuous visibility across supply chains without requiring fixed infrastructure.
The company works with major retailers, logistics operators, and consumer brands to solve practical problems: inventory tracking, waste reduction, and supply-chain transparency. The engineering team, distributed across Israel, the United States, and Europe, has invested years developing the underlying technology. Wiliot's backers include SoftBank, Amazon, and Qualcomm - investors with deep exposure to supply-chain modernisation and IoT scaling challenges.
The core technical achievement is making battery-free sensors economical enough for mass deployment across trillions of items. By keeping unit costs low whilst maintaining the ability to track individual assets continuously, Wiliot addresses a fundamental constraint in modern supply chains: the prohibitive expense of granular, real-time visibility at scale. The platform's reliance on ambient radio-frequency energy rather than batteries removes a critical operational burden from customers seeking to instrument their physical assets.
