Dot AI has launched ZiM (Zero Infrastructure Mesh) IoT tracking hardware for asset tracking in logistics and supply chain management.
ZiM is designed to offer an asset management solution by securely gathering data at the edge of the enterprise. It can read both passive (battery free transponders) and active (battery powered beacons) to provide data for supervisory systems. The bridge can operate with its own battery power when mounted on moving racks or pallets or be hardwired to power for fixed installation in aisles or doorways.
Up to four general purpose I/O pins are available to connect the bridge to external sensors or signaling devices to enhance workflows. It also has integrated bright signaling LEDs to direct workers in common tasks.
Dot Ai SaaS software leverages the tools of agile cloud services, including a Rules Engine to define and enforce application-specific behavior. The engine can constrain, monitor, alert or drive device actions to prevent rule violations, increasing efficiency through common machine learning techniques. Another use of AI is to enhance common material handling workflows by providing real-time, context-aware suggestions and actions based on intelligent algorithms and learned enterprise-specific workflows.
