Problem
Traditional IoT devices often rely on batteries, leading to maintenance overhead, environmental concerns due to battery disposal, and limitations in deployment in areas where battery replacement is difficult or costly. Existing radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems also have limitations in range, real-time data capture, and scalability for massive industrial applications.
Solution
Wiyo Technologies develops patented batteryless IoT nanochips that harvest energy from standard 2.4 GHz WiFi waves, enabling continuous data collection and transmission without the need for batteries. These nanochips power smart tags that use a proprietary communication protocol based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, providing reliable data and identification sensing. The technology supports edge computing, allowing operation without constant internet connectivity, and features an encrypted communication protocol with multiple layers of physical and digital security. Wiyo's solution facilitates real-time traceability, temperature monitoring, and other sensing capabilities, addressing the limitations of traditional RFID and battery-powered IoT devices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cloud computing companies, data and tech integrators, AIDC technology manufacturers, solution providers, and consultants seeking sustainable and scalable IoT solutions for industrial automation, supply chain visibility, and asset tracking.
