Previously announced facility in partnership with Invest Puerto Rico opens its doors following Dot Ai’s successful listing on Nasdaq

Dot Ai (Nasdaq: DAIC) (“Dot Ai” or the “Company”), an IoT and AI-based SaaS startup at the forefront of Asset Intelligence technology, today announced that its manufacturing facility in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, has commenced production for the Company’s patent-pending hardware applications. The new facility is intended for full production of Dot Ai’s ZiM Bridge and smart asset tags. Dot Ai, in conjunction with Invest Puerto Rico (“Invest PR”), the island’s business attraction organization, previously announced plans to establish the facility in May 2025.

The facility is Dot Ai’s first hardware manufacturing operation and will serve as the Company’s central hub for manufacturing its innovative products that meet the rising demand for real-time, AI-enabled Asset Intelligence across industries such as logistics, manufacturing, food and beverage, fashion and retail, transportation, education, oil and gas, utilities and entertainment, among others. In addition, the Barceloneta facility will be responsible for fulfilling orders from Dot Ai’s growing list of industry partners and customers such as Würth Industry USA.

“We’re enormously proud that our Puerto Rico manufacturing plant is now fully operational and beginning production,” said Ed Nabrotzky, CEO of Dot Ai. “This facility strategically positions us to meet growing demand as supply chain and logistics operators face increasing pressure to reduce costs, improve reliability, and optimize efficiency. Coming on the heels of our successful Nasdaq listing, we believe this marks the beginning of many exciting developments ahead for Dot Ai.”

Dot Ai has expressed commitment to advancing high-tech manufacturing and fostering economic growth in Puerto Rico. Now fully operational, Dot Ai’s new facility has already resulted in the creation of several full-time, highly skilled positions. In addition to recent hires, the Company has committed to significantly contributing to job creation in Puerto Rico over the next five years, subject to business conditions and operational scaling. The project aligns with Puerto Rico’s efforts to attract investment through initiatives led by Invest Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (PRIDCO). Leveraging the island’s skilled workforce, strategic location and favorable business environment, this facility will enhance Dot Ai’s ability to serve U.S. and global markets with innovative solutions.

The Barceloneta facility is equipped with multiple production lines which are currently producing the patent-pending Zero Infrastructure Mesh (“ZiM”) Bridge—available in two product variations each with multiple configurations for customizable real-time tracking solutions, with plans to expand the product suite—as well as its industrial-grade smart asset tag. These proprietary hardware applications capture enterprise-wide data input for comprehensive data collection and process optimization via Dot Ai’s SaaS cloud platform.

“We’re fundamentally changing how companies manage their assets and operations with real-time, seamless, and user-friendly solutions,” said Bob Reny, Chief Revenue Officer of Dot Ai. “Our technology replaces outdated, error-prone systems with seamless, cost-effective solutions—without disrupting operations. With our new facility in Puerto Rico, we’re scaling to meet rising global demand and delivering even greater value to organizations that rely on real-time Asset Intelligence to stay ahead.”

In addition to its proprietary hardware, Dot Ai’s suite of completely customizable solutions also includes an innovative, AI-powered SaaS platform that leverages real-time asset data, existing infrastructure, and seamless API integrations to provide unprecedented process visibility and contextual data.
