How do autonomous drones work in a warehouse environment?
Thanks to ground-breaking technology, a network of inexpensive, commercially available drones can navigate through even the most complex of warehouse layouts to each individual rack location, without any human intervention and without any reliance on GPS.
Upon the drones’ arrival at each cell/bin, the front-facing barcodes of 1-deep pallets or cases are scanned and data is compared against WMS records – all completely autonomously.

Why does drone technology make sense for warehouse operations?
As many warehouses expand in size, and the need for efficiency increases with the continued rise of eCommerce, businesses need to automate certain tasks to keep up with the demand.
Increased volume and velocity of inventory can cause significant problems that warehouse and project management teams must resolve. Without robust measures in place, inventory control can quickly spiral into a chaotic and costly operation.

The deployment process
Feasibility Analysis
This stage assesses the benefits, potential challenges, impact on existing business processes, sustainability and scalability, as well as determining the anticipated ROI and payback period.
The analysis phase is designed to establish and plan how the project will be deployed in the most effective way.
PILOT DEPLOYMENT
On-site implementation of a small-scale version of what will be the final solution.
This stage involves thorough testing to confirm stable and safe autonomous navigation of the drone from one aisle to another, consistent barcode detection, data communication between systems, precision landing on charging pads, etc. The purpose of the pilot is essentially to review, adapt, and fine-tune the process until both our team and yours are 100% happy with the outcomes.
PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT
Upon successful completion of the pilot, full-scale production roll-out will follow soon after.
Multiple drones and autonomous charging pads will be working completely autonomously and in perfect harmony with each other to conduct cycle counts at predetermined times of the day. Scanned data is compared with WMS records and staff are notified of any anomalies. Empty bin and put-away checks are also completed, as required.
