High-bay barcode capture from off-the-shelf airframes. Reads the racks humans shouldn't be climbing — at a fraction of bespoke-drone cost.
The future of warehouse and stock management isn't a bigger drone or a louder WMS. It's our Hive Chip, embedded into any commodity robot, turning it into a Scanman-native warehouse citizen on day one.
It is a period of rising costs. Warehouses across the galaxy are choosing between dangerous manual stocktakes and bespoke robots they cannot afford.
Meanwhile, in the factories of Shenzhen, an army of capable, commodity droids stands ready — but speaks no warehouse language.
From a small base in Durban, three rebel companies have engineered a single chip that turns any of them into the warehouse worker the galaxy needs....
The three droids aren't ours. They're already on shelves in Shenzhen, priced like consumer hardware. We give them a warehouse soul: scan logic, WMS integrations, agent-ready event contracts. Snap-in, fly out the warehouse door.

Quadrupeds for yards, ports, mines and cold stores. Where flight is restricted, four legs and a Hive Chip walk the count instead.
Autonomous mobile robots running cycle counts at aisle speed. Mast-mounted scan stack, pallet-level read, full WMS reconciliation in flight.
The Hive Chip is a small board, snapped into a commodity robot's payload bay, that contains seven years of warehouse domain logic: scan validation, putaway rules, cycle-count math, and direct integrations into SAP, Sage, Syspro, ERPNext. The robot is hardware. The chip is the business.
Building this alone was never the plan. Scanman brings the WMS soul. DroneScan brings the capture IP and a decade of brand. 2nth.ai builds the platform, the firmware, and the agents. Three companies, one chip.
First fifty operators on the list get a private demo, an early-access discount, and the launch dossier the morning of 04 May.
