Energous Announces Retail Smart Tag Deployment in Australia

Energous announced Tuesday a deployment of its Wiliot IoT Pixel smart tags with Academy Brand, a clothing line in Australia. It’s the second retail program announced by Energous and retail technology company Flagship, which offers retailers a real-time tracking service with customer insights. The Wiliot tags are wirelessly powered by multiple Energous WattUp PowerBridges, which collect data including in-store inventory location and purchases, Energous said. Wiliot IoT Pixels are battery-free, active Bluetooth tags that can be attached “to almost anything and at a low cost,” it said.
