Solution Comparison

Facility Needs
How quickly do you need to problem-solve inventory challenges?
You need to be able to find misplaced inventory immediately. A drone can be brought to any location in the warehouse to scan locations whenever you need it.

  • Speed of coverage: Autonomous drone flies continuously with an operator changing the battery. One operator flies 3 drones at once and can do inventory monitoring 15x faster than traditional means (900 pallets per hour).
  • Hardware needs: A single drone can cover the full warehouse as the drone has the flexibility to be brought to any location.
  • Insights needed: Able to read multiple barcodes in a single scan and read text.
  • Seasonal operational surges: Ability to add or reduce drones based on your needs.
  • Access to latest technology: Uses commodity commercial drones, leveraging the latest improvements in battery life and camera quality.
  • Local support: We are headquartered in the United States and replace drones and hardware at no extra cost with 1-workday delivery.
  • Infrastructure changes: No active infrastructure changes needed. The solution can operate in complete darkness and in very narrow aisles down to 5’4”.

Gather AI FAQs

  1. Can the Gather AI solution count cases on partial pallets?
    Yes. We are able to use TiHi stacking pattern information from the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to estimate case counts to the nearest complete layer.

  2. How does the system identify discrepancies between inventory and the WMS?
    Our computer vision reads inventory information from the images captured by the drone, comparing it with WMS data.

  3. Can the drones autonomously operate or is manual input required?
    The drones fly autonomously; a single operator can manage multiple drones.

  4. How do you ensure the Gather AI solution compares the inventory images with the latest WMS information?
    The drone retrieves the most up-to-date version of the WMS file prior to every flight.

  5. Will the Gather AI solution work in warehouses where inventory is stored in racks but not on pallets?
    Yes, our solution can handle various storage configurations.
