Brain Corp, in partnership with Tennant Company, announced the launch of Inventory Scan, a powerful new data capture accessory that can be fitted to autonomous floor scrubbers to autonomously scan and report key detail on in-store inventory.

“By adding Inventory Scan to new or existing robotic scrubber fleets, retailers are immediately able to access critical in-store inventory data in near real-time,” said Dave Ross, Vice President of Business Development at Brain Corp. “Knowing where an item is, if it’s in-stock, if it’s in the correct location, if the price is accurate, and more allows managers to operate stores with a new level of efficiency while providing optimal shopping experiences for their customers.”

Utilizing a first-of-its-kind, multi-purpose design, the powerful new scanning accessory is fitted to Tennant’s line of autonomous floor scrubbers powered by Brain Corp’s BrainOS operating system.

Once installed, the new, cloud-connected Inventory Scan tower is able to capture data as it moves autonomously around the store. Reports are then delivered to the store managers that provide numerous insights including: verification of pricing accuracy, planogram compliance, product stock levels and product localization. Each function negates the need for time-consuming and potentially inaccurate manual processes, which often lead to lost revenue opportunities, waste caused by overordering and not enough attention given to shoppers.

“This new product marks the beginning of realizing the next phase in our company’s vision,” said Dr. Eugene Izhikevich, CEO of Brain Corp. “We are actively taking BrainOS-powered robots from primarily task-oriented machines to in-store data acquisition platforms. This delivers critical insights and adds significant ROI for retailers.”
