SEE ID, Inc., doing business as Dot Ai, launched ZiM (Zero Infrastructure Mesh), a new Internet of Things (IoT) tracking hardware designed to replace outdated technologies.
“After years of meticulous research and development, we are launching our revolutionary ZiM IoT technology in the market,” says Dot Ai CEO Edmund Nabrotzky. “We believe this first-of-its kind technology will transform the landscape of asset tracking for logistics, an industry that relies heavily on manual processes as well as RFID technology which has not seen major innovation since its conception in the 1980s.”
Key takeaways:
- ZiM is designed to offer an innovative 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.
