Enhanced Inventory Visibility with Starling 2 Logis-Powered Drones

Gather AI’s drone-based inventory intelligence platform continues to evolve with the integration of new Starling 2 Logis drones from ModalAI. These next-generation drones offer enhanced perception, faster processing, and increased coverage, bringing even more power and precision to warehouse environments of all sizes.

By leveraging advanced onboard compute and sensing capabilities, these drones act as autonomous physical agents, navigating complex warehouse layouts while collecting rich, image-based data that drives real-time decision-making.

Expanded Coverage with Built-In Autonomy

The Starling 2 Logis is compact, rugged, and designed specifically for logistics environments. With powerful onboard processing, it operates fully autonomously and adapts to various warehouse conditions, including ambient, cooler, and freezer storage.

The platform is optimized to fly in narrow aisles and tall racking without relying on external infrastructure. This enables warehouses to deploy drones more flexibly and scale up faster across multiple sites.

Key Technical Enhancements

• Compact size allows navigation in tighter spaces, increasing applicability in a broader range of facilities
• Improved onboard compute supports real-time data processing without the need for constant Wi-Fi connectivity
• Upgraded stereo cameras enhance depth perception, improving obstacle avoidance and flight stability
• Rugged build supports performance in harsh environments, including cold and freezer storage
• Battery life and efficiency improvements enable longer flight times and more data captured per session

Data-Driven Inventory Intelligence

Drones powered by the Starling 2 Logis hardware extend the reach of Gather AI’s warehouse intelligence platform. As they fly through racking, they capture detailed images of barcodes, pallet license plates, and empty or occupied slots. This data is automatically interpreted by AI to deliver real-time insights into inventory location, movement, and storage efficiency.

With expanded hardware capabilities, the platform delivers consistent data capture, high-precision insights, and uninterrupted autonomous operation, supporting broader use cases and more demanding warehouse environments.

Optimized for Cold Storage and Complex Environments

The combined capabilities of Gather AI’s software and the Starling 2 Logis drone hardware are especially impactful in high-density and cold storage warehouses, where labor is limited and conditions are challenging. These environments often lack consistent wireless connectivity and have unique spatial constraints—areas where the new drone excels.
