B GARAGE

B GARAGE is a company founded in 2017 by two PhD graduates from Stanford University with a vision to make autonomous aerial robots an integral part of daily operations across industries. The company develops autonomous drones and software solutions specifically designed for warehouse inventory management. Their key offering includes fully autonomous drones capable of navigating through multiple aisles without requiring additional infrastructure like markers or beacons.

A crucial feature of B GARAGE's drones is their ability to automatically swap depleted batteries with fully charged ones from a dedicated station, enabling continuous operation. The drones leverage advanced computer vision, robotics, and artificial intelligence technologies to map and track warehouse inventory accurately. As of June 2023, the company had secured USD 30 million in funding to further enhance its products and expand its teams.

In 2023, B GARAGE commenced proof-of-concept pilot tests with Kenco Innovation Lab, a unit of Kenco Logistics, and aimed to deploy its drones in over 10 Kenco warehouses across the US by the end of the year. Additionally, the company secured a project with the Incheon Port Authority in South Korea, scheduled to commence operations by the end of 2023.
