> Edge technology enables warehouse operators to achieve real-time inventory visibility without installing complex systems or infrastructure

## Key points

- Dot Ai uses passive-charging RFID tags and wireless mesh networks to automate warehouse visibility without any traditional scanning infrastructure.
- Successful pilots with the Defense Logistics Agency and a go-to-market partnership with Worth Industry validate the platform's real-world applicability.
- The solution reduces human error, increases throughput, and enables continuous hands-free asset monitoring across complex logistics environments.

Block Field

Manual scanning remains a critical but time-consuming step in warehouse operations. That bottleneck could be nearing its end. A wave of edge technologies is pushing logistics into a new era of automation, and startups are capitalizing. The global warehouse automation market is projected to reach [$41 billion by 2027](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220527005136/en/%2441-Billion-Global-Warehouse-Automation-Market-2022-to-2027---by-Technology-Industry-and-Regions---ResearchAndMarkets.com), driven by demand for real-time inventory tracking and labor optimization. As warehouses grow in complexity and volume, the need for continuous, automated visibility into assets and inventory movement has become a top priority for logistics leaders.
