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 Additionally, inventory data is often outdated, reducing transparency and planning accuracy.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.
Main outcome
ascendo developed an automated inventory management of high-bay warehouses using drones for a customer. That revolutionized the traditional inventory process by significantly enhancing efficiency.This innovative approach not only minimized manual effort but also streamlined operations, saving valuable time and resources. With reduced energy consumption and optimized workflows, the project set a new standard for sustainable inventory management, showcasing how cutting-edge technology can drive both economic and environmental benefits.
