Heart Yang Leads New Company For Logistics Solutions Using AI and Ultra-low Power IoT

Heart Yang • June 21, 2024

Heart Yang is a leader in the field of ultra-low power Internet of Things (IoT) hardware design and the application of that technology to logistics and supply chain.


In addition to his pioneering IoT work, he has 15 years of consulting experience in logistics and express delivery technology. A serial entrepreneur as well, he founded HYCO Tech and GHE Solution Inc., and co-founded AlphaGames. 


His entrepreneurial drive in combination with his technological know-how and logistics experience led him to co-found his latest venture, Lotwork. That company applies ultra-low power IoT hardware and cloud-based ArtificialIntelligence (AI) to solve the challenge of mobile data communication in the supply chain and logistics industry. 


A supply chain thought leader, Yang put forward in 2008 the theory of the four-stage development of express logistics, predicting that express delivery companies would ultimately evolve into technology firms. He actively participated in the initial construction, optimization, and improvement of informatization and automation in almost all major express logistics companies in China. 


Yang drove improvements in Chinese logistics, initiating in 2009 a wave of “micro-innovations” in which he analyzed labor activity and optimized workflow for improved efficiency. As a result of that work, the China Express Delivery Association named him as one of the top ten logistics innovators in China in 2013.


In 2017, the Chinese Ministry of Education appointed him as one of the inaugural innovation and entrepreneurship mentors. He has also conducted dozens of lectures on scientific methodology at various universities as well as at a number of large express logistics companies.


Yang came to the United States from China in 2022 under the “Aliens of extraordinary ability” (EB-1A) program, which grants priority visas for individuals who have risen to the top of their field. 


In the US he worked for several large logistics and express delivery companies, holding such roles as a delivery driver and sorter. From that work he gained a deep understanding of the challenges facing the North American logistics industry. That experience made him realize the need for better mobile data technology that reduces power loss and doubles efficiency.
