How are Drones used in Logistics?

Among the technologies that are useful in improving internal logistics is the Drone, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which is a remotely piloted aircraft (APR).

Within a logistics warehouse, the drone could be used to fulfill an important function: inventory.

What are the advantages of using drones for the warehouse inventory?

SPEED: The average time for the control of a single storage location - including all actions necessary (e.g. battery change) is 5 seconds.
PRECISION: The drone accurately recognizes the barcodes of storage locations and products and creates an extremely accurate picture of both the current and the expected situation. For each location, the drone also takes a photo, allowing the operator to do a subsequent recheck from the workstation if in doubt.

SAFETY: Because the drone can move to great heights, neither the stock nor the operator has to be moved to or from great heights, reducing errors and injuries to zero. Throughout the entire process, the drone remains under the constant control and supervision of the pilot, so that inventory can be conducted in parallel with daily warehouse operations.
VISIBILITY AND CONTROL: The state of the art and results of the inventory process can be easily monitored in real time. The control center acts as a bridge between the WMS and the drone, giving missions and commands to the drone based on the status of the WMS processes.

Can DRONES be used for WAREHOUSE INVENTORY?

Many companies, despite having a WMS that allows them to know the quantity and location of inventory in real time, may need to take periodic "manual" inventory by state or corporate policy.
In warehouses, the inventory is usually carried out in two ways: in paper mode, or with hand-held devices.
In both cases, the inventory requires a lot of manual work and the manual check of each single location.
In vertically developed warehouses with high shelving, this means either having to momentarily transfer the stock to the floor or move the operator to higher levels so that the stock can be counted easily. This activity is time-consuming and also potentially dangerous for operators.
To reduce time and increase safety, drones can certainly contribute to inventory-related operations. These devices would not replace warehouse workers, but would operate alongside them for faster and more effective semi-automated inventory.
Drones move through the warehouse in a controlled manner, with a predetermined flight plan and route. Using cameras and a barcode identification system or RFID tags, they reveal the location of each item.
