From Barcodes to Bots: Building the Foundation for AI in Supply Chain

What if the key to AI delivering results in healthcare supply chain isn't the AI itself—but the foundation you build first? On this episode of Power Supply, we sit down with Nathan Wicks, VP of Commercial Technologies and Engineering at Cardinal Health™ WaveMark™ Solutions, to explore what it takes to build a digitally automated supply chain. From RFID and real-time data capture to cloud platforms and AI agents, Nathan breaks down the building blocks health systems need—starting with data accuracy and proven technologies that create the foundation for AI to deliver real value. He shares where to focus right now to free up clinicians, improve product availability, and cut through the hype around what different types of AI can actually do.
