Supply Chain
Written By Rick Watson

Gather AI makes artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software that enables drones to fly autonomously through warehouses while photographing inventory stored in pallet locations.

Ware was founded by engineers from North Carolina State University and says it deploys autonomous, self-flying drones, combined with machine learning and AI, inside warehouses to automate their inventory tracking.

Gather AI allows you to use autonomous drones to get a real-time picture of your warehouse inventory.  The release from the company says that it will create the largest player in the space with over 25 customers.  Ware AI was originally a spinoff of Carnegie Mellon University, long known for its robotics expertise.
