Walmart and Wiliot's latest collaboration has caused quite a stir. The retail giant has deployed millions of IoT pixels to track goods movement, currently implemented in 500 stores, with plans to expand to 4,600 supermarkets and 40 distribution centers by 2026.

The core of this system combines blockchain traceability with AI monitoring. It provides real-time insights into inventory status and cold chain compliance, making the entire process transparent and controllable. The most direct result is a 25% reduction in fresh produce loss rate. The system can also automatically alert for various anomalies, saving significant labor costs.

From a technical perspective, this is a typical example of blockchain penetrating the real economy from virtual assets. Supply chain traceability combined with IoT data not only improves operational efficiency but also establishes a complete trust chain. The rapid digital transformation in traditional retail indeed reflects current market demands.

Interestingly, the commercialization of such underlying technological solutions often garners more attention than mere cryptocurrency price fluctuations. What do you think about the transformative potential of blockchain + IoT for supply chains? Is there also considerable future development space for these infrastructure service providers?

Walmart implementing this system directly reduces the loss rate by 25%? That's a bit unbelievable, is it true? Can you provide some data to verify? These numbers sound too good to be true. I haven't heard of Wiliot before; it's surprising they can collaborate with such a big project with Walmart. The combination of IoT and blockchain sounds very cool, but isn't the actual implementation cost also extremely high? With 4,600 convenience stores covered, how much would that cost? I'm optimistic about the supply chain sector, but I don't think Wiliot can survive long-term.

Hey, this is really what blockchain should be doing. --- Walmart has already started playing, the infrastructure is waking up. --- Reducing loss rate by 25%? That data is pretty impressive, much more stable than trading coins. --- By 2026, 4,600 stores. Wiliot is really taking off. --- Cold chain traceability is indeed a necessity, there are way too many air coins. --- Feels like the real gold mine of blockchain is in the实体经济 (real economy). --- The combination of Internet of Things + blockchain is indeed solid. --- Big companies are all布局 (laying out) supply chains, while we're still watching coin prices fluctuate. --- There's huge room for optimization in fresh produce loss reduction. Service providers are about to take off. --- Instead of chasing price swings, it's better to focus on the implementation of these foundational solutions.

Walmart's move is really clever; a 25% reduction in loss rate is real money, much more reliable than trading cryptocurrencies. I've long been optimistic about blockchain in supply chain management, but most project teams are still just talking big. Keep an eye on Wiliot.

Fresh produce spoilage rate directly decreases by 25%, this is the real work that blockchain should be doing, much more reliable than speculating on coins.
