Dane Technologies And Brain Corp Unveil Dane Air DC An Autonomous Inventory Scanning Robot For Warehouses, Distribution Centers And Manufacturers

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dane Technologies, a leader in designing and manufacturing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and power assist solutions, and Brain Corp, the autonomous technology company creating transformative solutions in robotics and AI, today announced the launch of the Dane AiR™ DC, an autonomous mobile robot built to revolutionize inventory management within distribution centers and warehouses. Engineered to deliver inventory visibility with unmatched speed, accuracy, and efficiency, the Dane AiR™ DC provides a smart, scalable solution for inventory management.

The manual inventory process used in distribution centers, warehouses, or manufacturing environments can be time-consuming, expensive, and prone to error. The Dane AiR™ DC transforms this manual process into a fully autonomous, AI-powered solution, designed to deliver value in any warehouse. The Dane AiR™ DC delivers faster cycle counts with greater data accuracy, and significantly lower operating costs.

“Inefficient Inventory processes have a direct impact on the bottom line,” said Dan Johnson, CEO of Dane Technologies. “The Dane AiR™ DC fully automates the inventory process, delivering accurate and timely data, as well as actionable insights. Those insights drive process improvements at the site and potentially throughout the supply chain. Dane AiR DC helps any warehouse increase process efficiencies and lower operating costs. Those savings combine to deliver a very compelling return on investment.”

Key Benefits Include:

• Automated inventory tracking at pallet and case levels for complete inventory visibility
• Advanced scanning technology with computer vision, RFID, and barcode scanning pallets or items in racks up to 38 feet, as well as bulk storage
• Barcode reading accuracy of 99.5%+ using best-in-class Cognex technology
• Simple data integration with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
• Next-gen autonomous navigation powered by BrainOS® for proven, dependable, and safe autonomous operation in dynamic warehouse spaces
• Maximized uptime with 10-hour battery run time and fully autonomous 4-hour recharge
• High-efficiency scanning, covering over 200,000 square feet in under eight hours
• Accelerated ROI with fast and cost-effective implementation

For warehouse and distribution center operators exploring automation, the Dane AiR™ DC offers a seamless, plug-and-play solution—unlike drones, which require specialized infrastructure, have runtime limitations and face flight restrictions, or other robotic solutions that are large, very complex, and have significant operating expenses. Built on the same platform as the Dane AiR™—the robotic inventory scanning solution for retail—its compact design enables precise navigation in dynamic environments, with minimal disruption to existing workflows. Powered by the next-generation BrainOS® Robotics Platform, which has logged over 20 million autonomous operating hours across more than 40,000 robots, the Dane AiR™ DC delivers the performance, reliability, and scalability required for real-world warehouse operations.

“Warehouses today face mounting pressure to optimize productivity while maintaining accuracy,” said Mark Garczewski, Vice President of Product at Brain Corp. “The Dane AiR™ DC with BrainOS® brings a new level of digital precision to inventory management, providing visibility and ground truth that empowers teams to work smarter and bridge the gap between the physical and digital supply chain.”
