What is Gather AI?
Gather AI is a Physical AI platform for intralogistics that delivers real-time warehouse visibility and actionable insights via autonomous drones and moving equipment vision. It captures complete physical reality of warehouse operations with 99.9% accuracy, turning warehouses into searchable, digitized spaces where any product or location can be instantly verified. The platform interprets over 10 data insights per image captured, understanding condition, placement, movement, and context across the entire operation.
Key features include Digitized Warehouse (entire warehouse searchable), Advanced Search (search by product titles, keywords, even handwritten text on pallets), True Empty Detection (computer vision validates empty locations are truly empty), 3D Case Counts (predicts Ti and Hi values for inventory accuracy), Occupancy Level monitoring, and AI-Driven Insights delivered to a dashboard. The system performs case counting with 99.9% accuracy, text recognition for expiry dates and lot codes, identifies products with partially obscured barcodes, and handles inferred multi-deep counts without manual intervention.
Gather AI is designed for businesses in retail, food and beverage, manufacturing, and warehousing operations. It integrates as an intelligence layer with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) without requiring infrastructure changes, retrofits, or downtime. Cold-tolerant drones work in temperatures as low as -20°F, enabling 5x greater efficiency in extreme conditions. A single operator can fly up to 3 drones simultaneously, with drones flying autonomously once a mission is selected.
The platform delivers proven results including 70% improved inventory accuracy, 75% reduction in manual hours, 90% reduction in pallet emergencies (from 20-30 per day to 1-2), and 5x increase in inventory productivity. Most customers achieve ROI in under 6 months. The solution scans 15x more pallets per hour compared to manual counting, significantly improving inventory visibility and operational efficiency.

Frequently asked questions about Gather AI
What is Physical AI for Intralogistics?
Physical AI learns from the real world through millions of warehouse observations - not from internet data like ChatGPT. Intralogistics means the movement of goods inside facilities: warehouses, plants, and distribution centers. Gather AI delivers the foundational intelligence layer that makes physical operations intelligent, not just automated.
Can the Gather AI solution count cases on partial pallets?
Yes. Gather AI uses TiHi stacking pattern information from the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to estimate case counts to the nearest complete layer.
How does the system identify discrepancies between inventory and the WMS?
Physical AI reads inventory information including LPNs, UPCs, text, lot codes, and more from images captured during collection. This inventory data is then compared with what is in the WMS or ERP. Results are displayed on the Gather AI dashboard where operators can view time and location-stamped images of inventory, and review matches, empty locations, and exceptions to make informed decisions to correct discrepancies.
Can the drones autonomously operate or is manual input required?
The drone flies autonomously. With Gather AI's solution, a drone operator selects the mission and places the drone in the aisle where the mission is to be flown. The drone flies the selected mission without support from an operator. A single operator can fly up to 3 drones at once to maximize efficiency and throughput.
How do you make sure that the Gather AI solution compares inventory images with the most up-to-date WMS information?
Prior to every flight, the drone calls for the most up-to-date version of the WMS file. The WMS information can be shared via automated CSV file upload or direct integration. If an old WMS snapshot is detected, the mission is rejected and the Operator is prompted to update the WMS snapshot.
Will the Gather AI solution work in warehouses where inventory is stored in racks but not on pallets?
Yes, the solution is versatile and can handle various storage configurations. Image analysis algorithms interpret images to provide accurate inventory data regardless of specific storage methods.
What is True Empty Detection?
True Empty Detection uses computer vision to detect and validate that empty locations are truly empty. This quickly reveals putaway errors, lost inventory, or whether empty locations are being used to store improper items. This is not label scanning - it's true AI.
How does 3D Case Counts work?
3D Case Counts alerts workers to likely discrepancies even in challenging scenarios. It can predict both Hi (number of horizontal layers) and Ti (cases per layer) values, pushing inventory accuracy to the highest limits possible.
What temperature range can Gather AI drones operate in?
Gather AI's cold-tolerant drones achieve 5x greater efficiency in temperatures as low as -20°F with text recognition, inferred case counting, and wrapped pallet scanning capabilities.
Does Gather AI replace existing WMS or automation systems?
No, Gather AI is not replacing WMS or automation. It is the intelligence layer that makes all existing systems smarter. There are no infrastructure changes, software overhauls, or rigid hardware requirements needed. It offers true plug-and-play Physical AI that integrates with existing WMS without retrofits, downtime, or disruption.
