Anatomy of a decision: Wiliot

Nucleus interviewed Wiliot users to understand factors driving the selection of the platform over competing Industrial IoT solutions. Organizations choose Wiliot for its battery-free ambient energy technology, comprehensive API architecture, cost-effective deployment model, and rapid scalability across diverse use cases. Nucleus Research found that organizations using ambient energy IoT solutions reduce infrastructure costs by up to 85 percent compared to traditional radio frequency identifications (RFID) implementations while achieving three times faster deployment timelines. Additionally, battery-free deployments eliminate ongoing maintenance costs associated with battery replacement cycles, delivering four times the ROI of battery-dependent alternatives with 60 percent lower total cost of ownership. For example, a major UK postal service replaced a £40 million legacy RFID system with Wiliot’s solution for under £6 million, generating £14 million in quarterly operational savings while expanding from basic tracking to more than 35 use cases. The platform’s energy-harvesting technology supporting deployment without infrastructure changes reduces implementation complexity. Given that traditional IoT deployments often fail due to maintenance overhead and infrastructure costs, Wiliot’s battery-free approach provides critical advantages for organizations requiring scalable Industrial IoT platforms that adapt without ongoing operational burden.
