Completing the Picture: From Inventory at Rest to Inventory in Motion

If you're running an automated cycle-counting program, whether it flies or drives through your racks, you already have something most warehouses don't: an accurate, continuous count of what's sitting in your racks. The count runs, the racks get read, and your at-rest inventory matches reality pass after pass.

But inventory doesn't sit still. Between counts, pallets are moving through receiving, putaway, replenishment, and transfers, and that's the window MHE Vision covers.

Two States of Your Inventory

Every automated counting program, drone or robot, is built to read inventory at rest: what's in each rack location, including the high-bay zones a person never reaches easily. That's the picture at a point in time. What no counting program sees, because none of them are built for it, is inventory in motion: every pallet move on the forklifts and reach trucks already running your floor.

One tells you what's stored. The other tells you what's happening to it. Together they account for the full life of a pallet, not just where it lands.

MHE Vision is the in-motion layer. It's Gather AI's computer vision, trained on millions of real warehouse observations, deployed on the equipment you already operate.

The Data Between Counts

An automated count gives you a reliable picture of what's in the racks. MHE Vision adds the story of how it got there, and what's happening in the hours between passes. Three places that shows up:

  1. Timing. A count reads each location on a cadence, so a putaway shows up at the next pass through that aisle. MHE Vision confirms the drop the moment it happens, which matters most when the next pick can't wait for the next count.

  2. Coverage beyond the rack. Receiving, staging lanes, cross-dock, and outbound. Product spends real time in zones that aren't a rack slot, and a program built to read racks sees none of it. MHE Vision deploys on the equipment moving product through all of them.

  3. The move itself. A count gives you snapshots: here this morning, there this afternoon. MHE Vision gives you the move in between, the full history of an LPN, the reason when a pallet lands somewhere new, and damage timestamped to the moment and place it happened. 

Turning Visibility into Action

MHE Vision captures the motion. Sage turns it into action.

Both run on Gather AI Prana, the Physical AI platform for logistics. Vision sees the floor. Sage is Prana's reasoning layer, and it reasons across what Vision captures together with your systems of record: your WMS, your slotting, and the counts already keeping your at-rest picture fresh.

Take a rack location running low. On its own, that starts the usual scramble, or an order gets cancelled as out of stock while the replenishment is sitting on the receiving dock. But that pallet was logged the moment a forklift picked it up off the truck, so the stock is known to be in the building before it reaches the rack. Sage connects the two, the slot drawing down and the replenishment in motion, and surfaces it so your team can close the gap before the shortage becomes a cancelled order.

Built to Expand, Easy to Start

MHE Vision runs on the equipment you already own, alongside the counting program you already trust, with no disruption to either. That makes it a low-friction way to capture the half of your inventory picture that's been invisible.

And if you want your at-rest count on the same platform, or you're starting without an automated program at all, Drone Vision is the same Vision and the same Sage, pointed at your racks. Many teams start with MHE Vision on the fleet they operate, then add Drone Vision for full at-rest coverage. Every entry point leads to the same place, one platform seeing your inventory end to end.

See It on Your Floor

If your counting program tells you what's in your racks, MHE Vision tells you what's moving between them. Whether you're adding inventory in-motion coverage or starting from scratch, talk to our team and we'll show you the complete dock-to-dock picture in your operation.
