Gather AI
AI drones that read and audit your warehouse inventory in real time
Overview
Gather AI deploys drones equipped with computer vision to continuously scan warehouse inventory: pallet-pallet case counting at 99.9% accuracy, expiration-date reading, detection of empty slots and stock gaps. The startup, spun out of Carnegie Mellon, raised $74M including $40M in Series B in 2026 and integrates data into existing WMS without infrastructure changes.
Published customer results: 70% improvement in inventory accuracy, 75% reduction in manual counting labor, ROI achieved within 6 months. Ideal for large warehouses where manual inventory is lengthy, costly, and source of restocking errors.
Our verdict
Very concrete innovation for logistics operators, 3PLs, and e-retailers with warehouses over 5,000 m². ROI is fast if current inventory error rates are high. Unnecessary for small storage where manual scanning suffices.
