George Schmitt collaborates with Wiliot

George Schmitt and Co. has announced a collaboration with Wiliot to convert, test and manufacture Wiliot's Gen3 IoT Pixels into finished BLE-enabled smart labels for logistics, retail and supply chain applications.

Wiliot's IoT Pixels are battery-free, stamp-sized sensors embedded into labels that harvest ambient energy and continuously transmit Bluetooth signals, enabling real-time item-level visibility across supply chains. George Schmitt integrates these pixels into finished label constructions, selecting materials, adhesives and formats for durability in deployment environments, while its proprietary in-line testing system validates that every label is powered, serialized and transmitting correctly before leaving production.

The collaboration addresses a key barrier to scaling BLE-based supply chain networks: ensuring consistent label performance at high volume. George Schmitt's manufacturing platform is designed for high-speed output with tight quality control, eliminating defective labels during production rather than in deployment.

'Our role is to convert those IoT Pixels into finished labels with the consistency and performance required for large-scale deployment,' said Bill Gunther, president of George Schmitt and Co. 'We've engineered our testing and manufacturing processes to deliver that reliability at production scale and speeds.'

'George Schmitt brings deep in-house expertise in embedding our IoT Pixels into label constructions, ensuring reliable integration and readiness for high-volume production,' said Sagi Lindenfeld, VP of operations at Wiliot.
