What’s in the case study

Tha Challenges
To address the universal challenge of food waste, the grocery retailer wanted a view into how its time-and temperature-sensitive goods were transported and stored, aiming to improve its reputation for excellence by guaranteeing produce availability at peak freshness.

The Solutions
The Wiliot Intelligence Platform revolutionizes how grocery retailers monitor the temperature and location of their inventory, offering comprehensive insights down to the case level through automated, continuous monitoring and instant, actionable alerts.

How it Works

Wiliot IoT Pixels were applied to cases of strawberries, tracking their temperature and whereabouts from the distribution center, through transit, to multiple stores, providing high-resolution insights into the state of their goods.

The Outcome

The Wiliot Intelligence Platform promptly detected temperature and process compliance issues, allowing the retailer to tackle underlying problems as they arise, minimizing wasted inventory and ensuring fresher produce with more predictable availability.

The Benefits

Insights delivered by the Wiliot Intelligence Platform guaranteed that the retailer’s produce met the highest standards of freshness and quality, directly enhancing customer trust and enabling systematic elimination of food spoilage and waste causes.

ABI Research discusses Wiliot's innovative energy harvesting, battery-free technology, and other low-power devices. These capabilities are poised to drastically impact the market for IoT (Internet of Things) and connectivity, facilitating the creation of wireless devices with the extended or battery-free operation. This will enable the creation of a new category of ultra-low-cost connected devices and tags. The article also notes that Wiliot’s technology has been applied to Bluetooth healthcare RTLS as a solution for tracking medical containers at a lower cost compared to traditional tags, supplied through Wiliot partner Blyott.
