How do Wiliot's IoT Pixels transmit data without batteries?
Wiliot's IoT Pixels are designed to harvest energy from ambient radio signals present in their environment. This harvested energy powers the sensor, allowing it to transmit data such as location, temperature, and movement to nearby network infrastructure without requiring a dedicated battery.
What kind of network infrastructure is required to use the Wiliot Intelligence Platform?
The Wiliot Intelligence Platform utilizes off-the-shelf Bluetooth bridges and gateways. These devices are quick to deploy and are responsible for waking up nearby IoT Pixels using radio signals, receiving their transmitted data, and securely forwarding it to the Wiliot Cloud for processing.
Can the Wiliot platform integrate with existing supply chain management systems for inventory and asset data?
The Wiliot Cloud transforms raw sensing data into smart decisions, providing alerts, analytics, and dashboards. While direct integration specifics are not detailed, the platform is designed to fuel supply chain decision-making, implying its data can be leveraged by or integrated into broader supply chain AI and management systems to enhance their capabilities.
What specific benefits does 'Automated Cycle Count' provide over traditional inventory methods?
Automated Cycle Count provides real-time, scan-free inventory visibility, which drives over 99% accuracy. This eliminates the need for manual scanning and periodic physical counts, significantly reducing labor costs, improving efficiency, and providing continuous, up-to-date inventory data to fuel supply chain decisions.
How does Wiliot ensure the security of the data transmitted from the IoT Pixels to the Cloud?
The network infrastructure (bridges and gateways) securely forwards the data received from the IoT Pixels to the Wiliot Cloud. While specific encryption protocols are not detailed, the platform emphasizes secure data transmission as a core component of its operation.
