Pittsburgh, PA, November 12, 2024 – AIM, the leading global industry association for the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) community, proudly announces the publication of a new whitepaper titled “How AI, IoT, Robotics, and AIDC Technologies Are Coming Together in Industrial Environments.” Developed by AIM’s Visibility Technologies Industry Group, this paper provides insights on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and AIDC technologies in enhancing industrial environments.
In an era where efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability are essential to staying competitive, this whitepaper offers insights on how this convergence is reshaping industrial operations, enhancing productivity, and optimizing processes across sectors including manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. It also addresses real-world applications, including a case study at India’s Haldia Dock Complex, which illustrates how integrating these technologies in port operations led to substantial efficiency gains and increased profitability.
Historically, AIDC technologies—like barcoding and RFID—have set the standard for data collection speed, efficiency, and accuracy. Now, IoT integration is building on this foundation, creating interconnected systems that empower enterprises with real-time insights and control. AI adds intelligence and predictive capabilities, allowing these systems to self-optimize, while robotics provide automated actions that complement human efforts. Together, these advancements are creating an “Industry 4.0” reality where processes are faster, safer, and more adaptable to market demands.
“AIDC has formed the backbone of data collection across industries, and the evolution we are seeing with IoT and AI is creating a new era for automation.” said Mary Lou Bosco, CEO of AIM.
