/solutions / inventory-scanning
Every aisle. Every night. Automatic.
Scheduled autonomous scanning of rack inventory — without GPS, without Wi-Fi dependence, without manual piloting.
The problem
TODAY
Manual cycle counting
Staff walk aisles with scanners on overtime, and the count is stale the moment it's done.
WITH US
Scheduled drone scans
A drone flies the aisles on a fixed schedule and produces a structured location report each run.
How it works.
- 01
Navigate
The drone flies aisle routes using visual-inertial odometry — no GPS or external beacons.
- 02
Capture
It scans rack locations by barcode and visual capture as it passes each bay.
- 03
Report
It produces an exception report and a WMS-compatible export at the end of the run.
What a run hands back.

Common questions.
What lighting does it need?+
The perception system needs consistent, adequate lighting along the aisles. We confirm this during the site survey.
How tall a rack can it scan?+
Reach depends on the aisle geometry and flight volume agreed for your site. We assess this per facility.
How are people kept safe?+
Flights run inside geofenced volumes with human-exclusion rules during scheduled windows.
What happens on low battery?+
The drone returns to its charging location and resumes on the next scheduled run. Missions are designed to be interruptible.
