Inventory tracking and picking in warehouses:
- Drones will detect empty shelves, and also identify the commodities stored using barcode and RFID scanning.
- They can use built-in sensors to cover wide areas, making them ideal for inventory monitoring in large locations.
Intralogistics:
- Drones can transfer products or parts from a warehouse to a production center’s assembly belt on the shop floor.
- Basically transportation inside the factories would be a cakewalk.
Asset monitoring and compliance:
- Drones can employ thermal and infrared technology to monitor the state of assets, even in places that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans.
- Leaks or other anomalies can be identified, and maintenance and/or safety measures can be implemented to protect personnel and equipment.
Asset management and planning:
- By scanning factory infrastructure using drones, we can create 3D digital models that can be used to trigger preventive maintenance based on KPIs.
- This can help with manufacturing and production flow planning, as well as training.
