Wiliot & Walmart Revolutionize Retail with Ambient IoT
Wiliot and Walmart have joined forces to set a new standard in retail innovation, harnessing the power of ambient IoT and AI. This collaboration is transforming Walmart's supply chain and inventory management in real-time.
Wiliot's IoT Pixels are now tracking Walmart pallets at an unprecedented scale, with an ambitious target of 90 million by 2026. This deployment is set to be one of the largest ambient IoT initiatives to date. The technology provides real-time insights, enabling Walmart to know exactly what merchandise it owns and where it is at any given moment.
The collaboration has already eliminated manual tasks and delivered automated alerts, empowering Walmart associates to act swiftly and make smarter decisions. Greg Cathey, Walmart's senior vice president of transformation and innovation, highlights that this enhanced visibility helps deliver consistent value, quality, and experience to customers.
The partnership aims to boost supply chain efficiency, inventory accuracy, and cold chain compliance by integrating Wiliot's ambient IoT technology with Walmart's advanced AI systems. Currently deployed across 500 Walmart locations, the plan is to expand nationally in 2026, covering 4,600 Walmart Supercentres, Neighbourhood Markets, and over 40 distribution centres. This marks the first large-scale deployment of ambient IoT technology in the retail sector.
Wiliot's collaboration with Walmart is revolutionising the retail giant's supply chain operations. By harnessing the power of ambient IoT and AI, they are transforming inventory management, enhancing efficiency, and ultimately, improving the customer experience. With a nationwide rollout planned for 2026, this innovative partnership is set to reshape the retail landscape.
