3352: IoT, AI, and the Race for Supply Chain Visibility


Listen Later

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Ed Nabrotzky, CEO of Dot AI, to find out how a new generation of asset tracking technology is reshaping what's possible in logistics, operations, and enterprise strategy. Ed brings decades of experience as an executive and innovator in RF and IoT systems, and now leads Dot Ai at the intersection of artificial intelligence, patented hardware, and cloud-powered platforms.

With global supply chains facing continued pressure from disruptions, tariffs, and rising customer expectations, Dot Ai is offering something many enterprises are still chasing: real-time visibility with context. But what sets Dot AI apart from other asset tracking providers is its full-stack approach, which combines AI, RFID, Bluetooth, and proprietary hardware to deliver predictive insights across the entire supply chain.

During our conversation, Ed explained how Dot AI's model moves visibility from a passive reporting tool to an active intelligence layer for the business. He also shares the story behind their recent $175 million distribution agreement with Würth Industries, and what that level of demand signals about where the market is headed.

We also explore the company's upcoming product rollouts, including ZiM Bridge, new IoT trackers, and a cloud platform built to scale. But what stands out most is Ed's broader vision for the sector. Drawing from past ventures and academic research, he reflects on what it takes to build resilient, tech-forward operations in a world increasingly shaped by automation, connectivity, and real-time data.

How do we turn all that complexity into something simple and actionable? And what can other founders, tech leaders, and supply chain decision-makers learn from the Dot AI playbook?

As always, I'll leave you with a question. As AI increasingly penetrates the physical world, are we doing enough to make our systems not only more innovative but also more transparent and accountable? Let me know your thoughts.
