Aerial & Manual Counts: Complementary, Safe, Scalable

● Humans plan & schedule missions; drones execute them during off-hours● Drones scan full pallets; humans count partials (usually stored on the ground)● Drones collect video & images; humans count items remotely● Drones identify location inaccuracies; humans analyze root-cause● Drones identify unreadable barcodes; humans read/replace them● Drones collect top-view of bulk storage; humans move honeycombed items
Drones do the dull, repetitive, dangerous work;
Humans focus on higher-value tasks!
