About Gather AI
Gather AI develops warehouse inventory software that turns compatible off-the-shelf drones into autonomous scanning systems. The aircraft fly through aisles, capture pallet and location imagery, read labels and barcodes and send observations to a cloud platform without installing fixed infrastructure throughout the building.
Computer vision compares scanned positions with warehouse records to identify missing, misplaced or damaged stock and expose inventory status to operations teams. The platform supports scheduled scans, issue workflows and integrations with warehouse-management systems. Gather AI provides deployment, training and fleet support for distribution centres seeking more frequent inventory checks while keeping normal warehouse activity running.
