Wiliot Ambient IoT Food Safety Initiative

Wiliot has introduced an Ambient IoT Food Safety Initiative that is designed to help the food industry create safer, more traceable supply chains, ahead of FSMA’s Rule 204 January 2026 Compliance.

Ambient IoT is a battery-free wireless technology that is being incorporated in multiple wireless standards, such as Bluetooth, 5G Advanced 6G, and Wi-Fi. It enables a real-time inventory paradigm that not only benefits food safety and FSMA compliance, but also more efficient store operations.

The new technology is designed to allow the entire food industry to move beyond QR codes, advance shipping notices and electronic documentation to a new traceability paradigm that is faster, real-time and reduces cost.

The initiative is launching in partnership with iFoodDS and Trustwell to incorporate Wiliot’s ambient Internet of Things (IoT) data into their software solutions that will enable both companies to add real-time, fully automated, item-level traceability data to their platforms.

Trustwell brings together two products — FoodLogiQ and Genesis — to go beyond compliance and set standards for safety, transparency and quality in the food industry.

iFoodDS helps food companies deliver traceable, wholesome, high-quality products to consumers. iFoodDS’ connected traceability, quality and food safety solutions are designed to give companies visibility and insight into their supply chains, reduce food waste and optimise inventory quality.

Wiliot’s battery-free ambient IoT Pixels can attach to any food product or packaging to connect it to the internet and embed it with intelligence. Once attached, products push out item or case-level information about their location, temperature, carbon footprint and more — equipping food retailers and companies with the high-definition real-time data that is now required as part of FSMA Rule 204.
