Supply chains are entering a new phase – defined by continuous intelligence, real-time awareness, and systems that adapt as conditions change. As logistics and fulfillment networks grow more dynamic and interconnected, leaders are rethinking how data is captured, interpreted, and applied across physical operations. Manifest 2026 convenes the organizations and technologies shaping this next chapter of supply chain performance.
Wiliot’s mission aligns squarely with that shift: bringing intelligence to everyday products and assets so the physical world becomes as measurable, connected, and actionable as the digital one. The event brings together operators, technologists, and business leaders advancing this transformation – those building networks designed to sense, learn, and respond continuously across complex supply chain environments.
That momentum is reflected in the market itself. Analysts estimate the IoT-based asset tracking and monitoring market will grow at roughly 12% CAGR through 2032, underscoring the accelerating adoption of real-time intelligence across logistics, retail, and operations.
From Supply Chain Visibility to Physical AI
Modern supply chains operate across thousands of nodes, handling millions of assets in motion. In this environment, visibility forms the foundation for performance – across pallets, cases, reusable assets, and individual products – providing the situational awareness required to manage flow, condition, and utilization at scale.
As sensing expands across these layers, visibility evolves into operational intelligence. Physical systems that continuously observe movement, dwell time, handling, and environmental conditions gain the context needed to inform decisions as events unfold. This progression defines physical AI: intelligence grounded in real-world signals and applied directly to physical operations.
At Manifest 2026, Wiliot is focused on three priorities.
First, engaging with the growing ecosystem of supply chain leaders and technologists advancing physical AI – systems that learn from real-time data about asset movement, environmental conditions, handling patterns, and operational context.
Second, demonstrating how physical AI is deployed in real-world environments. At Booth #2132 in the Venetian Expo, Wiliot will showcase its platform and the all-new Gen3 IoT Pixels – the battery-free Bluetooth sensor that serves as the data foundation – across five solutions relevant to Manifest attendees: Automated Cycle Counting, Automated Receiving, Automated Shipment Verification, Reusable Asset Tracking, and Temperature and Condition Monitoring.
Third, contributing to industry dialogue. On Tuesday, February 10 at 2:00 p.m. in Venetian Ballroom H, Wiliot’s Amir Khoshniyati will join industry peers for the session “The Intelligence Nobody Talks About… but Everyone Depends On,” examining how continuous asset intelligence is shaping operational excellence.
Across these efforts, the emphasis is practical application. Retailers gain inventory accuracy and improved availability across distribution centers and stores, while logistics and operations teams gain proof of handling, condition awareness, and faster insight into operational variation.
Building the Data Layer Physical AI Depends On
Physical AI depends on a consistent, high-quality data layer that reflects real-world conditions as they occur. Continuous sensing across pallets, returnable assets, cases, and products creates the operational context required for automated workflows and intelligent decision-making.
Wiliot’s platform and Gen3 IoT Pixels work together to deliver this capability. IoT Pixels generate continuous signals from assets in motion, while the Wiliot platform translates those signals into operational intelligence that integrates with existing systems and processes.
This intelligence is delivered through five core solutions:
- Automated Cycle Counting: Continuous, scan-free visibility across defined zones such as storage areas, backrooms, yards, and vehicles
- Automated Receiving: Real-time confirmation of inbound shipments at the pallet and case level to streamline dock-to-stock workflows
- Automated Shipment Verification: Verification of outbound loads at dock doors to support accuracy and compliance
- Reusable Asset Tracking: Persistent visibility into returnable assets such as totes, racks, and roll cages to improve utilization and reduce loss
- Temperature Monitoring: Case- and shipment-level monitoring for perishables and sensitive goods to support quality and compliance
Together, these solutions enable physical AI to operate across the full spectrum of supply chain assets – connecting movement, condition, and context into a unified operational view.
Scaling the Physical AI Ecosystem
Manifest also serves as a forum for collaboration across the supply chain ecosystem. Wiliot engages with operators, partners, and technology leaders to understand evolving requirements and support deployments at global scale.
That ecosystem continues to expand. Wiliot recently announced a partnership with Tageos, strengthening its network of leading tag manufacturers and reinforcing its ability to support large-scale deployments across supply chains.
Wiliot’s participation in Manifest 2026 reflects a broader conviction: the next phase of supply chain performance will be driven by deeper integration between the physical and digital worlds – enabling assets themselves to contribute intelligence to the systems that manage them.
We look forward to continuing that conversation in Las Vegas.
