Wiliot Featured in NBC Bay Area - Climate in Crisis
A very small piece of technology with Bay Area roots is now part of a very big plan to help us fight climate change.
The IoT Pixels cost 10 cents per unit and is made by a startup called Wiliot. It’s a gadget that’s both techy and tiny.
This is a tiny compute device can be attached to containers for just about anything and track its carbon footprint from start to finish.
"So we've seen refrigerated trucks that sat for three days, just burning diesel because they didn't have a driver,” said Thaddeus Segura, VP of Data Products & Algorithms at Wiliot. “As soon as you can show that to a retailer and say ‘hey, look at all this you wasted, they act on it.’”
It’s all part of the wave of tech now fighting climate change.
