Dane Technologies Inc.

Dane Technologies Inc. is a Maple Grove, Minnesota-based manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and power-assist material handling equipment serving retail, industrial, distribution, healthcare and transportation markets.

Founded in 1996 with the creation of the QuicKART, the first mechanized shopping cart management system, the company has grown into a broad supplier of workplace automation and ergonomic transport solutions. Its robotics portfolio includes the Dane AiR (Autonomous Inventory Robot), a standalone shelf-scanning robot developed with Brain Corp and powered by the BrainOS Robotics Platform that captures real-time inventory data including out-of-stocks, price-tag and promotional compliance, and stock counts in retail and distribution-center environments; the VGV (Vision Guided Vehicle), a camera-guided autonomous towing vehicle that learns routes and waypoints without infrastructure and switches between autonomous and manual modes; and the AutoDelivery Robot (ADR), an easily trained AMR for dynamic facilities with frequently changing layouts. Dane also produces a wide range of power-assist vehicles such as the QuicKART M3 cart pushers, PowerPal cart movers and ride-on tugs, M3i tuggers, Power Shopping SmartKART, Smart:System racks, and wheelchair movers. The company backs its products with 24/7 technical support, 95% same-day parts shipping, extensive warranties, and a global service network of over 270 providers across 28 countries. Dane provides free consultations and site assessments, operator training and certification programs, and custom design services for retailers, manufacturers, distribution centers and transportation hubs worldwide.
