Tageos and Wiliot Partner to Accelerate Ambient IoT Battery-Free BLE Sensing

Tageos announced a strategic partnership with ambient IoT pioneer Wiliot. The first outcome of this collaboration is the launch of a new passive Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) inlay, the EOS-654 BLE G3. 

In response to the growing demand for real-time location and condition monitoring across retail and logistics supply chains, this inlay was developed to support large-scale deployment of Wiliot’s Gen3 IoT Pixel sensor and the Wiliot Intelligence Platform.

The EOS-654 BLE G3 inlay was developed in cooperation with Wiliot at Tageos’ Innovation Center of Excellence (ICoE), which opened in Munich, Germany, in April 2025 in response to the increasing demand for cutting-edge wireless technologies. 

Specializing in product innovations such as advanced antenna design, battery-free and battery-powered BLE sensors, and multi-component integration into roll-to-roll inlay manufacturing, the ICoE is part of the company’s comprehensive research and development organization. 

The new EOS-654 BLE G3 features a dual-band architecture operating at 2.4 GHz and sub-1 GHz. This inlay design enables longer-range energizing, more reliable broadcasts, and greater performance consistency across environments such as distribution centers, trailers, retail backrooms, and store floors. Delivered as a dry inlay, it is ready for conversion into Wiliot’s Gen3 IoT Pixel sensor.

Requiring no batteries, the Gen3 IoT Pixel sensor works with cost-effective Bluetooth reader infrastructure to transmit item-level data to the Wiliot Intelligence Platform. The platform analyzes continuous streams of location, temperature, humidity, light, dwell time, and movement data to power physical AI solutions, including cycle counting, shipment verification, reusable asset tracking, and condition monitoring.

Once final product development and validation are complete, products can be seamlessly industrialized within Tageos’ global manufacturing network, which currently has a total production capacity of 12 billion units per year across locations in France, the United States, and China.
