Brain Corp, an autonomous technology company creating transformative solutions in robotics and AI, today announced that the Dane AIR™ robot has won the “Best Robotics Sensing Solution” category of the AI Breakthrough Awards. The AI Breakthrough Awards are run by Tech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence platform for today’s most competitive global markets. Now in its 7^th year, the annual awards program recognizes the world’s most innovative companies, technologies, and products in the artificial intelligence industry today. 

Currently, most retailers manually track thousands of SKUs across their stores, searching for issues such as out-of-stocks, incorrect price labels, misplaced products, and more. The Dane AIR™ robot assists associates by efficiently monitoring stores, ensuring the right product is on the right shelf at the right price. With Dane AIR™ providing more frequent and accurate store insights, associates can engage more with customers, and retailers can uncover critical issues that help improve on-shelf availability, verify compliance with pricing and promotions, and ensure the correct placement of items for efficient order fulfillment. 

“To be named Best Sensing Solution of 2024 by the AI Breakthrough Awards is an honorable recognition of the value and innovation we can bring to the retail space,” said David Pinn, Chief Executive Officer, Brain Corp. “Sales are won or lost at the shelf, and we know that managing inventory is a critical and costly challenge for retailers today. With over 35,000 robots already deployed, we are uniquely positioned to solve these challenges with automation, driving significant improvements in store execution and ROI.” 

The Dane AIR™ autonomous inventory robot was developed in partnership between Dane Technologies and Brain Corp. Integrated with BrainOS® InventoryAI, Brain Corp’s AI-powered inventory analytics solution, these technologies are part of Brain Corp’s powerful, end-to-end solution to autonomously track and action inventory, the BrainOS® Sense Suite.

The AI Breakthrough Awards are an industry honor, as they come from a well-regarded third-party validation. The awards help guide technology buyers through a crowded AI marketplace to select the products and solutions that have the best performance and drive results.
