Drones in the Warehouse? The Competitive Mandate for Rapid Adoption

Webinar Description

Using drones for inventory control presents extraordinary benefits. Still, barriers to adoption persist—including the fear of investing in bleeding-edge technology with no guarantee of achieving real results. Recently, however, inventory drones have leapt into the mainstream thanks to advanced technologies that eliminate risk, increase ROI, and deliver the advantages of more frequent, more accurate inventory counts.  

Notable successes by leading big-box retailers, 3PLs, and manufacturers have made inventory drones one of the most desired tools for warehouse automation. In the face of rising inflation and the very real possibility of a global recession, inventory drones offer a proven, low-cost strategy for gaining tangible advantages from advanced automation.

The result: Whether your organization has tried and failed with pilot programs in the past or you are exploring inventory drones for the first time, delaying the inevitable shift from manual inventory scanning to full automation creates real competitive risk for your business.

In this live webinar, Prof. Raffaello D’Andrea will spotlight the state of inventory drones today and speak with a global retail client who will share lessons learned from the project that was the catalyst for a growing global rollout.

Topics will include: 

• Established use cases for warehouse drones and what to expect in the next 3-5 years
• Overviews of inventory drone projects at Ingka, DSV, and Performance Team-A Maersk Company
• Tips to determine the suitability of inventory drones in your warehouse environment and assess your organization’s readiness for advanced automation powered by self-flying drones

Speakers:

Prof. Raffaello D’Andrea, Founder & CEO, Verity, and co-founder of Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics), Verity
