Pink Storage, which operates 19 self-storage locations throughout the United Kingdom, has launched Pink Brain, an artificial-intelligence-powered operating system created to autonomously run its facilities. Integrating software, physical sensors, security drones and robotics, the tool has already been incorporated into a new site in Nottingham, England, and could roll out across select Pink Storage locations next month, the release stated.

Pink Brain functions as a central-nervous system, continuously receiving data from the company’s operating platform. It processes this information and automatically sends commands back to the individual self-storage facilities in real time, the release stated.

Pink Brain also supports emerging technological systems including humanoid machines and self-driving vehicles. This enables the integration of future AI-powered functions, for example, drones can be used to perform routine security checks, robotics for cleaning and maintenance tasks, and autonomous vehicles for logistics, the release stated.

“We’re not automating areas; we’re automating entire sites,” said Scott Evans, CEO and founder. “The ultimate self-storage facility is one where AI and robotics handle all daily operations. Humans won’t run the sites anymore; instead, they'll maintain the code and the machines in the background. You’ll see eyes in the sky and dogs that are far more intelligent than us humans. This isn’t tomorrow's world, it's happening now.”

Founded in 2016, Pink Storage offers container-based and mobile storage as well as related services.
