Inventory in Motion: A Practical Starting Point for Accuracy

In a busy warehouse, a single fleet can make well over a thousand pallet moves in one shift, covering a couple hundred miles. Every pick, putaway, transfer, and replenishment sends product from one location to another. Logging each movement in the WMS by hand isn't realistic, so many WMS platforms record only transactions, not the travel in between. The activity is expected. The blind spots don't have to be.

MHE Vision closes that distance. It deploys on the material handling equipment your fleet already runs (forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers) and captures every pallet move instead of checking at fixed points. The movement already happening becomes a live record of where inventory is.

What MHE Vision Captures 

MHE Vision is one of the form factors of Gather AI Vision, which turns the physical floor into ground truth. As a forklift engages a pallet, MHE Vision captures an image and reads it through Gather AI's computer vision and machine learning models. From that one capture it pulls 10+ insights: identifiers like barcode, LPN, SKU, and lot code, plus perceived damage and pallet occupancy, all cross-referenced against the scanned location. It holds up in real warehouse conditions, including low light. One pickup confirms what the pallet is, its condition, and that it's where the record says, with photographic proof on every observation.

It Fits How the Floor Already Works

MHE Vision doesn't ask the floor to work differently. Instead, it follows the pick and putaway your team already does. As a forklift moves a pallet, Gather AI Workflows confirms the move is right: the right pallet, dropped where it belongs. When the drop matches the WMS, the move is verified and done. When it doesn't, because the slot is full or the pallet wasn't where the system expected, the floor logs an exception and the reason stays attached to the move.

Inventory ends up where the record says it is, with no added step. By the time order pickers come through, the product is in its slot or accounted for in a new one, and any LPN can be searched for its current location and the full history of every move behind it.

Why It's the Right Place to Start

MHE Vision brings ground truth to your warehouse by capturing the move that happens without a scan, which is exactly where accuracy erodes. It's the most direct way in: it runs on the equipment already on your floor, so there's no new hardware and no change to how the team works, and it reads against your WMS in real time running the LMS, ERP, and automation you already have in place.

The payoff is the number you report on. Continuous capture during normal floor activity drives WMS-to-shelf accuracy to 99.9%, with ROI inside six months. You don't reorganize the operation to get there. You put vision on the equipment that's already moving.

Beyond Data Capture

Everything MHE Vision captures flows straight into Sage, Gather AI's reasoning and intelligence. Sage reasons across that data alongside your existing systems and surfaces what's working and what needs a closer look, so your team acts on ground truth, not gut feel.

Inventory in Motion, Inventory at Rest

MHE Vision covers inventory in motion: product moving through receiving, putaway, and transfers. Drone Vision covers inventory at rest: product sitting in racks between moves, including the high-bay locations a forklift camera can't reach or inside sub-zero temp freezers. Together they give you total dock-to-dock intelligence on what's moving and what's stored, as one source of truth.

See It in Your Operation

MHE Vision starts on the floor you already operate. The fastest way to see what it does is to watch it run in a building like yours. Request a demo and we'll show you dock-to-dock visibility on your floor.
