Eye-Seal CTO and Paragon Innovations CEO Mike Wilkinson recently joined MarketScale’s Tyler Kern remotely in MarketScale’s Trinity Studio to provide insights gleaned from the 2020 IoT Evolution Conference & Expo.

Eye-Seal “manufactures and sells internal breach detection devices for shipping containers to protect cargo and improve transparency for the logistics chain,” and, even though the company was founded less than a decade ago, it’s making waves in the space.

Paragon Innovations is a company with three decades of experience in providing industry-leading product development and engineering services.

Wilkinson said IoT Evolution, at which he was a presenter, was a key opportunity to get a feel for the wider world of IoT and where it’s headed moving forward.

“You learn about where IoT’s headed and what other people are doing with IoT and wireless devices,” he said. “I get to learn about other people who are making cellular and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules or communication radios. … You get to meet a bunch of different suppliers and potential partners.”

Kern and Wilkinson also touched on the security-driven solutions Eye-Seal is constantly innovating, how shows like IoT Evolution can support those efforts, and more.

Behind every robot: why component supply chains are the real bottleneck in robotics scale-up

Behind every robot: why component supply chains are the real bottleneck in robotics scale-up

Automate 2026 revealed that robotics adoption is more hindered by supply chain issues than by AI and software limitations. The event underscored the importance of component availability in scaling up robotics. Without addressing these supply chain bottlenecks, the growth of robotics in the industrial sector may be stymied.

  • 01Component supply chains are the main bottleneck in robotics scaling.
  • 02AI and software are not significant limitations in robotics adoption.
  • 03Availability of components is critical for the growth of industrial robotics.
