## Summary

Sanjay Sharma, CEO of Roambee, discusses how organizations can achieve supply chain visibility using IoT and AI. He explains that visibility is currently broken and piecemeal, relying on legacy methods like emails and EDI, and advocates for injecting IoT sensors into high-risk lanes to identify bottlenecks. Sharma outlines a three-step implementation process: defining data granularity, determining actionable use cases, and leveraging AI for autonomous, self-healing supply chains. He highlights specific applications of AI, such as graph neural networks for network propagation analysis and digital twins for simulating disruptions before launch.
