Identiv, Inc., a global digital security and identification provider in the Internet of Things (IoT), announced that it has recently completed its initial multi-million unit order of IoT Pixel tags for Wiliot, an ambient IoT SaaS firm. Identiv has since begun production of a follow-on order from Wiliot that was announced on Identiv’s most recent earnings call in May 2023.
“We are excited to continue partnering with Wiliot to accelerate the development of the revolutionary ambient IoT ecosystem,” says Amir Khoshniyati, VP and GM of IoT at Identiv. “With our uninterrupted production of IoT Pixels, Wiliot’s customer deployments are able to continue unimpeded, further optimising their supply chains with the item-level intelligence collected from these breakthrough tags,” adds Khoshniyati.
Retailers are adopting Wiliot’s ambient IoT platform. With stamp sized IoT Pixels, end customers can track food and product transport through their supply chains, including location, temperature, humidity, and other conditions. By identifying inefficiencies due to poor storage and handling, Wiliot customers can improve their supply chain productivity and sustainability.
IoT Pixels are being used to identify product misshipments and track cold chain items in transit in real-time, enabling food waste reduction, automated compliance with the FDA’s (Food and Drug Administration) new FSMA (Food Safety Modernisation Act) Section 204 rule, and the inventory accuracy required for omnichannel distribution. Wiliot recently opened an office in Dallas, TX, to provide additional support for customer deployments.
“Wiliot’s mission is to make every single item an agent of change, and with a partner like Identiv, we are making that vision a reality. With demand for our IoT Pixels multiplying, Identiv’s continued production will ensure that we can continue to make timely deliveries to our customers at this adoption inflection point for the ambient Internet of Things,” says Roee Zeiler, chief financial and revenue officer of Wiliot.
Identiv’s connected ecosystems put the IoT in motion, creating digital identities for every physical object. The RFID (radio frequency identification) team handles research, design, development, and manufacturing. The company embeds tags, inlays, and labels in billions of everyday objects, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, specialty retail, athletic apparel, industrial applications, smart packaging, library media, toys, wine and spirits, mobile devices, cold chain items, and perishables.
