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-throug
