Meet David the Drone

As one of the first UK businesses to incorporate drone technology into our warehouse operation, we're paving the way for many industries to follow. 

Next generation technology, inventAIRy XL, provides automated inventory control in rack and pallet warehouses whilst offering unrivalled efficiency. It has allowed us to significantly improve our processes by undertaking the responsibility of stock checking, enabling our warehouse operatives to focus on order fulfilment, amongst other tasks, to meet the rising demand for ecommerce whilst maintaining outstanding customer service. 

Using censors for barcode scanning, a ground robot for autonomous navigation, and smart software to make the data obtained usable, the drone conducts cycle counts considerably faster than any manual operation, no matter how effective. The revolutionary pairing of this technology with a supporting ground vehicle conquers three key constraints of drone use in warehouses: battery endurance, flight stability and autonomous navigation with GP. By overcoming these issues, inventAIRy XL removes the need for labour to carry out inventory counts, thus eliminating possibilities for human error and increasing the accuracy of Kite’s operation. The need for mobile elevating work platforms is also made redundant, reducing health and safety risks for staff. 

Ultimately, the drone has streamlined our warehouse operation for far greater efficiency, empowering us to continue to improve our customer service.
