Rogers said , “ We use sensor technology to automate data entry into existing business systems .”
He again reflected on Amazon Go , the self-service grocer in Seattle . “ It is a retail experience where you can grab what you want , and your credit card is automatically charged in a shopping environment .”
In that example , tags are attached to everything and managed by sensors . Inventory is continually tracked , and payments are automatic . With these sensors in a manufacturing environment , everything can be tracked automatically , including inventory in bulk . “ Instead of shutting down for two days to count inventory , it tracks automatically . If an order moves through production , we can update the ERP ,” Rogers said .
“ We save the customer so much time , and they don ’ t have to scan thousands of bar codes manually .”

Tadinada said their company culture is developing : “ We listen very closely to our customers . We solicit feedback in our app ; customers provide feedback on new features and how to use the app better .
