Introducing DC HAiVE:

The "Free" Cycle Count Solution

DC HAiVE is an AI-driven inventory control platform that transforms everyday material handling into an autonomous data-gathering process. By equipping your existing forklifts, cherry pickers, and pallet jacks with edge-computing cameras, DC HAiVE passively collects real-time inventory data as a natural consequence of normal direct labor (picking and putaway).

It autonomously monitors stock positions and integrates seamlessly with any WMS, enabling you to dramatically reduce dedicated inventory control costs and shift those labor resources into revenue-generating roles. Transform traditional inventory challenges into a streamlined, intelligent operation where cycle counting essentially becomes free.

A facility utilizing DC HAiVE can immediately expect:

  • Non-Revenue Generating Cost Reductions

    1. Drastic Inventory Control Headcount & Equipment Reduction

    2. Eliminate Annual Shutdowns for “Physical Counts”

    3. Reduced Variance Research Time and Cost

  • Revenue Generating Productivity Increases

    1. Optimize Labor Allocation by Shifting Headcount to Picking, Packing or Shipping

    2. Increased Warehouse Throughput and Revenue Generation

    3. Unlock Inventory Patterns & Reduce Shortages

Why Implement DC HAiVE:

By automating the bulk of non-revenue generating inventory control tasks, DC HAiVE empowers you to shift precious labor resources directly into value-added, revenue-generating operations. Because the platform assumes the burden of cycle counting from day one, this transition happens immediately—allowing you to realize massive returns across two distinct pillars:

Non-Revenue Generating Cost Reductions

  • Drastic Headcount & Equipment Reduction: Eliminate the dedicated labor costs and vehicle overhead associated with manual cycle counting. By automating up to 80% or more of your location counts, you can significantly reduce your dedicated Inventory Control (IC) footprint.

  • Eliminate Annual Shutdowns: Maintain perpetual accuracy in the background without pausing operations. Eradicate the need for disruptive, full physical inventory counts and drastic facility shutdowns.

  • Reduced Variance Research: Stop spending valuable hours on manual validation and on-floor walks. Catch discrepancies instantly and slash the time your team spends researching missing pallets or misplaced LPNs.

Revenue Generating Productivity Increases

  • Optimize Labor Allocation: Transition your former IC headcount directly into picking, packing, and shipping roles. Shift your human resources back to high-value functions to maximize your facility's daily throughput.

  • Increased Revenue Generation: Leverage your newly available direct labor capacity to directly increase your facility's overall revenue-generating flow.

  • Unlock Patterns & Reduce Shortages: Capitalize on passively maintained, high-accuracy inventory to reveal underlying trends. Proactively reduce the frequency of picking shorts and completely eliminate their associated recovery costs.

What is DC HAiVE and How Does it Work

DC HAiVE transforms cycle counting from a costly, dedicated expense into a "free" byproduct of your standard warehouse operations. As your direct labor team executes their normal picking and putaway tasks, the system passively collects inventory data, delivering continuous, accurate cycle counts with absolutely no additional effort.

Real-Time Inventory Insights Powered by AI Computer Vision Leverage custom-trained neural networks and edge-computing to extract real-time inventory positions using multi-camera arrays mounted directly on your material handling equipment. Turn every pass of a forklift into an active auditor that digitizes your floor instantly, autonomously validating lower-level locations during standard travel and upper levels during normal boom operations.

Seamless Integration for Instant Inventory Sync Bridge the gap between physical reality and digital records by integrating seamlessly via API with your Warehouse Management System (WMS). DC HAiVE processes cycle count records autonomously in the cloud, pushing live inventory data and validated cycle counts directly to your system of record with zero human intervention.

Remote Inventory Variance Management via the DC HAiVE UI Handle inventory discrepancies directly through an intuitive, centralized dashboard. When the AI detects a mismatch between the physical rack and the WMS data, it flags an exception. Your team can review high-resolution images of the variance directly in the UI, avoiding unnecessary on-floor checks. Validated corrections are then seamlessly forwarded to your WMS for swift resolution.
