Problem statement

Many manufacturing SMEs operate large warehouses or high-bay storage systems where regular inventory checks are mandatory. Traditional inventory processes are time-consuming, labour-intensive and often require the shutdown of warehouse operations. Manual counting using forklifts or lifting platforms leads to high personnel effort, increased energy consumption and potential safety risks. Additionally, inventory data is often outdated, reducing transparency and planning accuracy. SMEs are therefore looking for more efficient, safe and sustainable ways to perform inventory management without disrupting daily operations.

  • Automated scanning of storage locations and inventory items
  • Integration with existing warehouse management or ERP systems
  • Reduction of manual labour and forklift usage
