Brain Corp and Tennant unveil robotic solution for in-store analytics

Brain Corp and Tennant have launched Inventory Scan, a new accessory that can be fitted to autonomous floor scrubbers to 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,” says 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.”

Inventory Scan is fitted to Tennant’s line of autonomous floor scrubbers powered by Brain Corp’s BrainOS operating system.

Once installed, the 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, covering the likes of verification of pricing accuracy, planogram compliance, product stock levels and product localisation. 

“This new product marks the beginning of realising the next phase in our company's vision,” says Dr. Eugene Izhikevich, CEO at 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.”
