Wiliot, a manufacturer of physical AI for supply chains, and CISC Semiconductor, a provider of testing and measurement systems for wireless identification technologies, have announced they are partnering to support the high-volume functional testing of Wiliot’s battery-free IoT Pixels product.

CISC has optimized its BLE Xplorer testing system for Wiliot’s IoT Pixels and integrated the system with the Wiliot physical AI platform. The system can be incorporated into reel-to-reel production equipment or deployed as a dedicated offline tester to give label and tag manufacturers a standardized testing capability that accommodates a range of production environments, CISC said.

Testing infrastructure is often one of the most complex elements of establishing a new production line for IoT Pixels, requiring suppliers to develop custom equipment and processes before manufacturing can begin, Wiliot said. BLE Xplorer is designed to provide a repeatable testing approach that can accelerate supplier onboarding and expand the global manufacturing capacity of Wiliot’s IoT Pixels.

“Demand for Wiliot’s IoT Pixels continues to expand across supply chain, logistics, retail, post-and-parcel, and food and beverage applications,” said Sagi Lindenfeld, chief operating officer at Wiliot. “CISC’s standardized testing solution gives existing and future manufacturing partners a clear, repeatable way to validate IoT Pixels. This capability can accelerate supplier onboarding, reduce custom engineering requirements, and strengthen the manufacturing ecosystem supporting the continued growth of Wiliot’s Physical AI platform.”

On a single-station basis, BLE Xplorer supports testing speeds of up to 6,500 units per hour, per lane–-more than four times the approximately 1,500 units per hour supported by a conventional stop-and-go testing station, according to the companies. The system assigns an individual pass-or-fail result to every unit, enabling manufacturers to test 100% of production output.

The BLE Xplorer architecture is also designed to provide a path to greater aggregate throughput through the use of multiple testing stations operating in parallel as production volumes and equipment configurations evolve.

“BLE Xplorer Inline brings comprehensive testing directly into the production process,” said Dr. Markus Pistauer, CEO and founder of CISC. “Manufacturers can test all IoT Pixels at full line speed, capture clear performance data, and identify performance exceptions immediately. This gives manufacturers a scalable quality-assurance system designed for the production volumes the market now requires.”

Wiliot’s Physical AI platform was built to create a continuous, scan-free sensing layer across supply chains using battery-free Bluetooth IoT Pixels that harvest energy from ambient radio waves. The platform processes signals using AI and machine learning models, turning granular data on location, temperature, humidity, movement, dwell time, and other conditions into real-time intelligence and automated workflows, according to the companies.

Expanded production capacity for IoT Pixels will support broader deployment of Wiliot applications including Inventory Intelligence, Automated Receiving, Automated Shipment Verification, Reusable Asset Tracking, and Temperature Monitoring.

Across retail, grocery, food and beverage, post-and-parcel, logistics, and transportation, these applications aim to help organizations improve inventory accuracy, protect sensitive products, optimize reusable assets, automate workflows, and reduce waste.

CISC BLE Xplorer is now available for pre-sale. The new offering will debut at LOUPE Americas 2026 in Chicago this month, with first customer deliveries scheduled for the end of Q3-2026.
