Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a leader in scalable over-the-air wireless power networks (WPNs), announced today that it has received multiple orders from a Fortune 10 multinational retailer for its Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter systems. This follows a successful proof of concept (PoC) project demonstrating a comprehensive WPN that provides continuous, data-rich asset tracking for enhanced visibility and control in grocery and store supply chains. These new orders mark the initial phase of a nationwide infrastructure optimization initiative, starting with upgrades at a grocery distribution center and 170 grocery stores.
The grocery supply chain, which involves numerous stakeholders handling everything from perishable foods to non-perishable items, is becoming increasingly digitized. This transformation is driven by the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enhance visibility, control, and automation throughout the distribution process.
The Energous 2W PowerBridge transmitter systems will provide continuous, wireless power over-the-air and at a distance, while enabling a steady stream of real-time data from IoT-enabled devices such as sensors and tags. This technology will allow the retailer to digitally monitor and optimize their grocery distribution network, addressing shipment issues proactively and ensuring timely product availability at stores.
“Maintaining high food quality and freshness requires a sophisticated cold chain and real-time data access,” said Mallorie Burak, Interim Principal Executive Officer and CFO of Energous. “Our wireless power solutions are designed to revolutionize supply chain management, including cold chain monitoring, by providing end-to-end real-time asset and inventory visibility that enhances safety, freshness, and compliance.”
