Avery Dennison Launches Enhanced Industrial Inlays, Tags Portfolio
Avery Dennison is rolling out AD Dogbone and AD Squarewave, its first UHF RFID inlays and tags for industrial applications to feature the Impinj M830 chip.
Optimized for maximum performance in a range of automotive, logistics, and industrial environments, the new inlays and tags have been fully tested and validated in accordance with Avery Dennison standards.
According to company officials, AD Dogbone M830 offers stronger global performance compared with previous models. AD Dogbone M830 retains its 94 x 24mm antenna footprint and includes a 97 x 27mm form factor at a 1.18” pitch. Ideally suited for the tagging of automotive and logistics items, main applications include inventory, supply chain management, and Returnable Transit Items (RTIs).
AD Squarewave M830 retains its 93 x 11mm antenna footprint. With a 97 x 15mm form factor at a 0.78” pitch, it is designed to accommodate the tagging of items in the logistics and automotive segments. Main applications include home essentials, inventory, and supply chain management. It also offers reliable reading of tags at high volume and speed, supporting global IoT deployments.
Wiliot Launches First Generative AI Tool for Unlocking Insights into Supply Chains
Wiliot has launched WiliBot, a generative AI (GenAI) chatbot that enables natural-language conversations with any ambient IoT-connected product.
Wiliot’s Ambient Data Platform uses stamp-sized, self-powered IoT Pixels affixed to products, packaging, containers, crates, pallets, and more. These IoT Pixels communicate via Bluetooth information such as location, temperature, humidity, and carbon footprint to the Wiliot cloud where businesses analyze the data.
The company’s AI and machine-learning algorithms can identify supply chain “events” and automatically generate alerts or AI responses that allow business to course-correct or optimize their operations, like when sensing that shipments of produce or pharmaceuticals have been handled at unsafe temperatures. It is is built on top of a leading large language model (LLM) to combine the breakthrough capabilities of ambient IoT with GenAI computational power to usher in a new era of supply chain visibility.
“Ambient IoT and generative AI are increasingly symbiotic technologies,” stated Wiliot CEO Tal Tamir. “To a real extent, that data has so far been finite, but ambient IoT presents massive new physical world datasets that a GenAI platform like WiliBot — and others — can use to describe products, materials, supply chains, and everything connected to the internet.”
WiliBot will be piloted with key enterprise customers starting immediately, with a broader rollout scheduled for late 2024 and into 2025. During this piloting phase, the AI technology will be used by businesses seeking to ask questions about their ambient IoT-enabled products and supply chains.

Goodix’s New Generation Security Solution Achieved CC EAL 6+ Certificate
Goodix Technology new generation NFC+eSE security solution has achieved the prestigious SOGIS CC EAL 6+ certificate, the first solution in China to reach the highest security level among similar products.
Compared to the SOGIS CC EAL 5+, the EAL 6+ certificate involves more rigorous testing standards, a longer evaluation process, and additional assessments, including evaluating the complexity of the chip’s code and formal verification of its security policy models. These enhancements result in a more comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of the chip’s security.
The globally famous security evaluation laboratory SGS Brightsight conducted the security assessment. Kai-Fan Chang, COO Asia at SGS Brightsight, said “we believe that Goodix’s leading security solutions will continuously inject new momentum into innovation and progress in the security field.”
The new generation NFC+eSE security solution is the first security product in China, which certifies a more comprehensive set of algorithms providing rock-solid hardware support for global security applications such as CCC digital car keys, Google StrongBox, and eSIM. This security solution has achieved commercial mass production.
“Obtaining the CC EAL 6+ certificate demonstrates Goodix’s ultimate pursuit of exceptional performance in security products,” said Sandy Hu, president of Goodix Technology. “We will continue to dedicate to developing differentiated security solutions, driving the future of emerging applications, and building an unbreakable fortress of data protection for consumers around the world.”
