Wipelot

What Wipelot does

Wipelot Teknoloji A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish industrial IoT and real-time location systems (RTLS) vendor founded in 2005 and headquartered in Istanbul. The company develops both proprietary hardware (UWB tags, anchors, sensors, active RFID infrastructure) and proprietary software (the LOTUS RTLS platform and FLOW analytics module) that deliver sub-meter real-time positioning of personnel, vehicles, and assets in industrial environments. Its technology stack combines Ultra-Wideband, active RFID, wireless mesh networking, environmental sensing, and AI-driven analytics to address workplace safety (SAFEZONE forklift collision avoidance, lone worker systems, crane safety), operational efficiency (forklift telemetry, traffic signalization, social distancing), and vertical-specific workflows (mining traffic management, museum visitor analytics, automated meter reading).

The company sells custom, project-based enterprise solutions directly via a field sales team and indirectly through a Solution Partner (Çözüm Ortakları) channel with a dedicated partner portal at wipelot.io/portal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are structured as multi-year enterprise agreements bundling hardware, software, implementation services, and ongoing support, with implied recurring software and service revenue layered on top of the upfront deployment. Target verticals include mining, manufacturing, warehouse and logistics, construction, aviation (incl. MRO), and petrochemical — with named enterprise customers that include ABB, Bosch, BSH, Toyota, Ford, Pfizer, L'Oréal, Mercedes-Benz, Mondi, P&G, Unilever, Turkish Technic, Vestel, Tekfen, Ford Otosan, and Borusan Port. The company reports 51-100 employees, claims a deployed base of 300,000+ UWB devices across 1,000+ km² of site coverage, and has been recognized in the TOBB 100 and Deloitte Technology Fast 50 rankings. It holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and is a member of the Omlox, UWB Alliance, and FiRa Consortium standards bodies, including a documented technology integration with Cisco around Wi-Fi-integrated UWB.

Core offering

Wipelot develops and sells proprietary Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) built on Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Active RFID technologies. The company offers its own UWB hardware (tags, anchors, sensors) along with proprietary software platforms (LOTUS RTLS and FLOW Analytics) that enable real-time tracking of personnel, vehicles, and equipment, collision avoidance, traffic management, and AI-powered operational analytics for industrial facilities.

Product overview

Wipelot is an industrial IoT and RTLS technology company offering a modular platform architecture centered on its LOTUS RTLS software, which serves as the core analytics and visualization layer. The platform integrates multiple specialized hardware and software products: RTLS asset tracking subsystems (Personel Konum Takibi, Motorlu Ekipman Takibi, Motorsuz Ekipman Takibi, Wi-Fi Entegre UWB/EagleEye), safety systems (SAFEZONE forklift collision warning, Yalnız Çalışan, Vinç Takip, Sosyal Mesafe), the FLOW analytics add-on, industrial traffic management (Sinyalizasyon), and IoT modules (W-Connect, Kablosuz Ortam Takibi, Otomatik Sayaç Okuma, Forklift Telemetri). The ASSOS task management module and the AI-powered traffic management system represent the AI-enhanced extensions of the platform. All products share a common UWB/active RFID hardware infrastructure and the LOTUS software backbone, allowing customers to deploy individual modules or a fully integrated safety and efficiency ecosystem.
