Temperature Monitoring
Prevent waste, markdowns, and compliance failures from source to shelf
Cold Chain Operators are faced with ensuring that temperature-sensitive products remain within strict conditions across every handoff. Yet industry data shows the cold chain routinely breaks. Up to $260B of perishable food is lost each year globally due to temperature excursions, improper handling, and cold-chain failures. Retailers experience ~7% shrink in perishables, largely driven by preventable cold-chain issues.
Wiliot provides a continuous, case-level temperature and dwell-time visibility solution using battery-free IoT Pixels and minimal infrastructure. The solution application automatically:
- Tracks case temperature throughout the cold chain
- Detects temperature excursions in real-time and sends immediate alerts
- Documents complete temperature history for compliance audits
- Identifies specific products at risk (not just entire zones)
$2M-$15M annual enterprise savings from reduced waste, markdowns, and compliance costs- 99%+ case-level accuracy for location and temperature
- Automated compliance documentation - full audit trail for regulatory requirements
- Faster payback (~1 year on average), driven by reduced waste and higher product sell-through
Examples of Industry Applications
Quick-Service Restaurants (QSR)
Challenge: Delivering fresh food to thousands of locations with tight shelf-life windows
Outcome: 90%+ reduction in temperature violations, fewer customer complaints about quality
Grocery Retail
Challenge: Managing perishables from farm to shelf with multiple temperature zones
Outcome: Double-digit reduction in waste and markdowns
Food & Beverage Distribution
Challenge: FSMA 204 compliance across complex multi-tier supply chains
Outcome: Automated traceability and compliance documentation, reduced audit risk
Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
Challenge: Strict GDP/FDA requirements
Outcome: Reliable temperature integrity for vaccines, biologics
Third-Party Cold Storage
Challenge: Multi-client SLAs, providing temperature guarantees to multiple clients
Outcome: Documented compliance, reduced claims/disputes
