Stocktake at warehouse speed.
The UVL Inventory Management Drone flies the racks autonomously. 1,200 pallets per battery at 2–5 seconds each. Zero ladders, zero stoppage, zero data-entry. ERP-ready in XML / EDI.
Trusted globally by PepsiCo, FM Logistics, and Kimberly-Clark. Now distributed in India by xBoom — for Flipkart-class fulfilment centres, FMCG distribution, 3PL fulfilment networks, retail backstock, automotive parts, pharmaceutical and cold-chain warehouses. Site survey · topology mapping · ERP / WMS integration · pilot training · AMC included.
Stocktake, scan, sync, reconcile, remove humans from ladders.
Autonomous stocktake
Drone flies the racks without a pilot. Daily cycle counts that used to be monthly. Full warehouse audits that used to take three days now finish overnight.
Barcode & QR scanning
High-resolution imaging reads pallet labels — barcode, 2D matrix, QR — at 2–5 seconds per pallet. Error-proofed against the uploaded warehouse topology.
Direct ERP / WMS sync
Inventory report streams into SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Manhattan WMS, Blue Yonder, or your custom stack via XML or EDI. Zero manual data entry.
Error-proofing & reconciliation
Cross-validates scan results against expected topology and prior counts. Flags missing pallets, mis-located SKUs, and label-quality issues automatically.
Safety: no humans on ladders
Eliminates ladder, forklift-cage, and order-picker climbing for stocktake. Insurance-grade reduction in warehouse incident risk.
Six numbers your CFO and Head of Logistics both want to see.
50× faster on full counts
A 100,000 sq ft facility goes from 2–3 days of manual stocktake to 4–6 hours of autonomous drone flight. Cycle counts move from monthly to daily.
99.9%+ accuracy
Topology-aware error-proofing eliminates the data-entry mistakes that contaminate manual scans. Independent audits show drone counts beat manual counts on every pass.
24×7 capable
Schedule overnight, on weekends, during shift changeovers. The warehouse never has to pause receiving, picking, or shipping for stocktake again.
Zero-incident safety
Removes the leading cause of warehouse stocktake injuries — ladder climbs, order-picker falls, forklift-cage incidents. Insurance premiums reflect this.
Multi-drone scalable
Single drone for a 5,000-pallet facility, 3–5 drones for 50,000 pallets, 15+ for million-pallet mega-FCs. Scale bounded by aisle traffic, not platform.
ERP / WMS native
XML and EDI outputs land directly in SAP, Oracle, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Microsoft Dynamics. We have done India-specific custom WMS integrations too.
Launch. Scan. Process. Sync.
Four steps, run in parallel across an unlimited drone fleet, repeated every shift, every night.
Launch & topology load
Drone launches from its base. Aisle map, rack heights and label types are pre-loaded into the ground station. No pilot, no human in the warehouse needed.
Sequential rack scan
Flies aisle-by-aisle, hovers 2–5 seconds at each pallet, captures high-resolution barcode / QR. Anti-collision sensors prevent any contact with pallets, racks or staff.
Ground-station processing
Captured data streams live to the ground station. Topology-aware error-proofing, cross-validation against prior counts, and report assembly happens in real time.
ERP / WMS sync
XML inventory report or EDI feed pushes into your ERP / WMS within minutes of scan completion. Stock accuracy refreshes overnight, every night.
Built for Indian warehouse reality — narrow aisles, mainland heat, cold-chain cold.
Every feature has a procurement question tied to it.
Li-ion battery
High-capacity lithium-ion power cells deliver 35-minute flight times and survive thousands of charge cycles. Hot-swap design means 7–10 second battery changeover keeps the drone in the air without operator delay.
Error-proofing system
Topology-aware reconciliation flags missing pallets, mis-located SKUs and label-quality issues during the scan — not after. Eliminates the data-entry mistakes that pollute manual stocktakes.
Narrow + wide aisle
Same airframe handles VNA (very narrow aisle, ~1.6 m) racking and conventional ~3.5 m wide-aisle setups. No site-specific drone variant needed — one platform across your entire warehouse network.
Active anti-collision
Forward, lateral and overhead sensors prevent contact with pallets, racks, conveyors, forklifts, mezzanines and any human traffic. Insurance-grade safety record from PepsiCo, FM Logistics and Kimberly-Clark deployments.
ERP / WMS integration
Standardised XML / EDI outputs land directly in SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Manhattan WMS, Blue Yonder, Infor — and India-specific custom WMS stacks. No middleware, no manual rekeying.
Unlimited scalability
System runs an unlimited number of drones simultaneously across a single facility. Scale grows linearly — 1 drone for 5K-pallet warehouses, 15+ for million-pallet mega-FCs. Bounded only by aisle traffic.
High-resolution imaging
Pallet labels read accurately at 2–5 seconds per pallet across barcode, 2D matrix and QR formats — even with degraded, scuffed or partially obscured labels.
All-weather indoor
Designed for the full Indian warehouse temperature range — mainland summers (+40 °C) to cold-chain pharma and food storage (-20 °C). Reliability tested across humidity, dust and lighting variation.
Eight segments where UVL is already the right answer.
India's GST-driven warehousing consolidation has produced mega-fulfilment centres, 3PL networks and FMCG distribution depots that are the perfect fit for autonomous stocktake. UVL deploys cleanly across all eight segments below.
E-commerce mega-FCs
Flipkart, Amazon, Meesho, Myntra, BigBasket, Blinkit, Zepto. Pallet counts from 200K to 2M+ per facility. Ideal candidate for daily cycle counts and BVLOS-equivalent overnight ops.
3PL fulfilment networks
Mahindra Logistics, TVS Supply Chain, Gati, Allcargo Logistics, DHL Supply Chain, Blue Dart. Multi-tenant warehouses where stock-accuracy SLAs drive customer retention. Multi-customer ERP integrations.
Retail backstock & DC
DMart, Reliance Retail, Croma, Tata Cliq, Lifestyle. Distribution centre pallet counts plus retail backstock visibility. Replaces weekly manual stocktake cycle entirely.
FMCG distribution
HUL, Nestlé, ITC, P&G, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Britannia, Dabur. Already proven globally at PepsiCo and Kimberly-Clark. Sub-pallet SKU diversity is the perfect fit.
Automotive parts
Tata, Mahindra, Maruti, Hero, Bajaj, TVS. Spare-parts warehouses with 50K+ SKUs and after-market 3PLs. High-velocity SKU rotation makes weekly cycle counts critical.
Pharma warehousing
Sun Pharma, Cipla, Dr Reddy's, Lupin, Aurobindo, Glenmark. Regulated batch tracking, expiry-date verification, and cold-chain compliance. -20 °C envelope crucial.
Cold-chain & food
Snowman Logistics, Coldrush, Sneha Farms, Future Group cold storage. Drone's -20 °C operating range is rare in the inventory-drone market — competitive moat for cold facilities.
Industrial & bulk
Reliance, JSW, Tata Steel, Adani, Vedanta. Bulk and intermediate-goods warehouses where topology is stable but pallet counts run into hundreds of thousands.
Seven attributes. Drone wins all seven.
The simple comparison your CFO will sign off on.
| Attribute | Manual stocktake | UVL Inventory Drone |
|---|---|---|
| Time for full warehouse stocktake (100 K pallets) | 2–3 days | 4–6 hours |
| Cycle-count frequency | Monthly | Daily |
| Stock-count accuracy | 94–97% | 99.9%+ |
| Operations during count | Halted | Uninterrupted |
| Human ladder / lift exposure | High | Zero |
| Data into ERP | Manual entry, hours later | XML / EDI, minutes later |
| Cost per cycle count | Labour + downtime | Battery + scheduled overhead |
