Dot Ai and Würth Industry North America are collaborating to enhance performance metrics and optimize asset intelligence for WINA’s manufacturing clients.
LAS VEGAS and GREENWOOD, Ind.—SEE ID, Inc., doing business as Dot Ai, and Würth Industry North America (WINA) recently announced the execution of a Partner Distribution agreement, the companies said in a joint release.
Dot Ai is a pioneering startup that develops asset intelligence technology. According to the company, it is harnessing the power of IoT tracking technology to offer “patented solutions that are not just advanced but transformative.” Its software as a service (SaaS) is designed to redefine the paradigms of asset intelligence, assurance, and safety.
Würth Industry North America (WINA) is an industrial distributor and division of the Würth Group. The company’s highly customized logistics solutions are said to lower customers’ purchasing and operating costs, reduce storage footprint, and free up their teams to concentrate on their core business.
This five-year agreement between the two firms will bring advanced, AI-driven tracking solutions to WINA’s customers, offering what it described as “unprecedented visibility into internal and customer premise operations.” The collaboration aims to accelerate order processes, enhance performance metrics, and optimize asset intelligence for WINA’s manufacturing and industrial clients, the release stated.
Under the agreement, WINA customers will gain access to Dot Ai’s state-of-the-art track and trace technology, including the ZIM Bridge, Industrial Passive asset tag solution (which requires no battery), and a cloud-based, AI platform that is said to continually optimize processes. “These innovations will be seamlessly integrated with WINA’s customized CPS® kanban inventory management solutions, providing real-time data and increasing responsiveness to changing demands, resulting in unprecedented supply chain metrics and security,” according to the release.
“Integrating Dot Ai’s advanced AI technology into our existing CPS® kanban inventory management solutions will enable us to bring a new level of efficiency and innovation to our customers,” said Daniel Schmidt, senior vice president at Würth Industry North America, in the release. “Würth Industry has a long history of bringing innovative inventory management solutions to our manufacturing customer base, and this partnership reinforces this commitment. This innovation not only provides customers with peace of mind knowing that their supply chain is secure, it prepares them for the next evolution of industrial technology.”
“Partnering exclusively with Würth Industry North America, a dominant industrial player, is a significant step in bringing our advanced tracking technology to the manufacturing sector,” said Dot Ai CEO Edmund Nabrotzky, in the release. “We look forward to supporting WINA and their customers to elevate their automation processes and increase their operational efficiency. Both Dot Ai and WINA are working at the forefront of the next generation of manufacturing technology, and together will provide the context needed for human, environmental, safety, and social considerations to be integrated into supply chain strategies.”
According to the companies, their partnership emphasizes a commitment to advancing Industry 4.0 practices by harnessing the power of the industrial internet of Things (IIoT). By adding intelligent tracking technologies, WINA and Dot Ai expect to help customers improve forecasting accuracy, mitigate risks, and reduce or eliminate supply chain disruptions.
“With features such as real-time data insights and automated decision-making, the solution offers a significant leap forward toward Industry 5.0, where technology supports a more holistic approach to industrial processes,” the release stated.
