Wiliot Pharma Applications
Wiliot is an Israeli startup that offers Sensing as a Service solutions as well as Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Williot has developed a self-powered, stamp-sized computer they say is changing the relationship between manufacturers and their products. The company has raised $200 million in a Series C funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2i.
Sensing as a Service is tied to the Internet of Things. It is a notion connected to the cloud computing term “Every Thing as a Service.” Sensing as a Service middleware empowers consumers to access data generated by IoT devices owned by other entities.

Wiliot IoT Pixels are tiny low-cost, self-powered tags that attach to any product or packaging to sense a range of physical and environmental data that is then fed into the Wiliot Cloud, where machine learning algorithms translate data into actionable insights for businesses across a range of industries.
“Wiliot has created a vision of the future of AI-enabled IoT, and we are delighted that SoftBank is supporting us in making this future a reality,” said Tal Tamir, Wiliot’s CEO. “IoT is a vision created around Things and our mission at Wiliot is to use cutting edge hardware, AI-based sensing, and an innovative business model to implement a safer and more transparent world, a world in which all the things around us help consumers use them better and suppliers avoid waste.”
