Inventory management used to mean hours of manual counting, frequent errors, and constant uncertainty. The Dane AiR™ DC changes that. This autonomous mobile robot automates inventory scanning in warehouses and distribution centers with a level of precision and reliability that manual processes can’t match.

But here’s what matters more than the technology itself: the safety and security infrastructure behind it.

Built on Proven Autonomy

The Dane AiR™ DC runs on BrainOS® by Brain Corp, the leading autonomy platform driving robotic and AI applications at scale. With over 40,000 robots deployed worldwide and 21 million hours of operations logged, robots powered by BrainOS® are battle tested for performance.

Brain Corp designed their system with safety as the foundation. Every robot uses computer vision and 3D LiDAR to navigate around obstacles and people. The system doesn’t rely on a single safety mechanism—it has multiple layers working simultaneously. If one system detects an issue, others back it up.

The BrainOS® controller meets UL 60730-1 safety standards and achieves SIL2 performance ratings. These certifications exist specifically for automatic control systems that work alongside people. Brain Corp’s robots maintain a 99.9999% hourly reliability rate, which translates to consistent, safe operation day after day.

Data Security That Actually Protects Privacy

When you deploy robots in your facility, you’re not just thinking about efficiency. You’re thinking about what data gets collected and where it goes.

Brain Corp addresses this with a clear privacy-first approach. The sensors on BrainOS®-powered robots exist for navigation, not surveillance. Any images that capture people get facial blurring automatically. All data—whether it’s on the robot’s hard drive or in Brain Corp’s US-based cloud—stays encrypted during transit and at rest.

The system limits data retention by design. On-robot data gets overwritten on a first-in, first-out basis. Access controls ensure only authorized personnel can view operational data. And all robot data stays within the United States to comply with global privacy regulations including GDPR.

Brain Corp integrates security by design throughout their AI development process. They align with ISO 27001 standards and conduct regular penetration testing. This isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into the platform from the start.

Scanning Accuracy Through Cognex Technology

Inventory accuracy starts with a clean read. Dane AiR™ DC uses Cognex DataMan™ barcode readers—the same technology trusted on fast-moving manufacturing and logistics lines—to decode labels in real-time. With advanced imaging and decode algorithms, DataMan delivers 99.9% read rates, so the robot captures slot and pallet data on the first pass while BrainOS® keeps it flowing safely down aisles. The result is simple: fewer exceptions, fewer rescans, and inventory you can actually trust

Why Partnership Matters

Dane Technologies partnered with Brain Corp for autonomy and safety, and Cognex for scanning precision. This approach means each component of the Dane AiR™ DC comes from a company that specializes in that specific technology.

Brain Corp focuses on autonomous navigation and has deployed their platform across thousands of robots. Cognex has spent decades perfecting machine vision and barcode reading. Dane Technologies, with nearly 30 years of building robotic solutions, brings these proven systems together in a single platform designed for inventory management.

The result is a robot that works safely alongside your team, protects operational data, and delivers the inventory visibility you need to make decisions

Why Partnership Matters

When you implement the Dane AiR™ DC, you’re deploying a system backed by established safety certifications, rigorous security protocols, and industry-leading scanning accuracy.

Your team doesn’t need to worry about robot navigation errors. The multi-layer safety systems handle that. You don’t need to question data privacy. Brain Corp’s infrastructure protects it. And you don’t need to doubt scanning accuracy. Cognex technology ensures reliable reads.

Manual inventory processes will always have limitations—human error, inconsistent timing, incomplete coverage. The Dane AiR DC addresses these issues with technology that’s been tested, certified, and proven across multiple industries.
Dane Technologies understands that adopting autonomous robots means trusting the systems behind them. By partnering with Brain Corp and Cognex, they’ve built that trust into every aspect of the Dane AiR™ DC.
