About
Brain Corp, founded in 2009, is the autonomous technology company behind BrainOS®—the industry's leading autonomy platform for robotic and AI applications at commercial scale. Its flagship solutions span two core domains: automated floor care and AI-powered inventory management. The BrainOS® Clean Suite deploys intelligent floor-cleaning robots that elevate environmental hygiene in retail stores, warehouses, hospitals, airports, malls, schools, and hospitality venues. These robots use 3D LiDAR, computer vision, and a multi-layered safety architecture to navigate dynamic, shared environments safely, meeting certifications such as SIL2 and UL 3100. On the inventory side, Brain Corp's ShelfOptix™ delivers a fully managed Scanning-as-a-Service solution that deploys autonomous robots to capture real-time shelf intelligence—ensuring the right product is on the right shelf at the right price. RFID localization further enhances product tracking accuracy. The BrainOS® Sense Suite and accompanying analytics tools give operations managers deep insights into inventory gaps, shrink, and compliance. Beyond robotics, BrainOS® includes Analytics & Operations Management tools and remote site management features, enabling teams to virtually oversee multiple locations from a single dashboard. Brain Corp partners with leading OEMs and serves industries ranging from retail and warehousing to healthcare and education, helping over 2,700 companies worldwide automate and optimize their operations.
