B Garage

B GARAGE is a drone company based in San Jose, California. It builds autonomous drones for warehouse inventory counts. The site says the drones fly without a human pilot, without prior mapping, and without beacons or markers.

The company offers a full system. It includes an autonomous drone, a ground station for battery swapping and data transfer, and inventory management software. The software stores and shows drone data. It also lets users schedule scans and monitor flight status.

The site says the drones use camera vision based autonomy. The company says the technology is patent pending. It says the system can be installed without changes to the structure of a warehouse.

The site describes the cost model. It offers a robot as a service subscription, so customers can control their budgets. It says there is little upfront cost and no need for new staff or infrastructure.

Drones can count pallets on high racks or stacked on the floor. They can run scheduled cycle counts during down times or fly on demand. The site says success at one warehouse can be repeated at other sites.

The company was founded in 2017 by a Ph.D. graduate of Stanford University, according to the site. The team includes engineers with master's and doctoral degrees. The site lists a LinkedIn page and separate contacts for the U.S. and Korea.
