Benefits of Drone Automation in Warehouses
The business benefits from drones are significant and immediate given low capital expenditure & infrastructure investments, access to off-the-shelf drone hardware, and SaaS-based solutions for warehouse operations. The cloud-connectivity of drones, combined with API-based integration, make it easy for warehouse stakeholders to adopt autonomous drone fleets into enterprise workflows.
Better Efficiency
More frequent cycle counts. Faster item search. Real-time inventory data. Shorter shut-downs.
Greater Safety
Improved worker and asset safety. Lower risk of injury when counting hard-to-reach inventory.
Increased RoI
Minimal capital expenditure. Shorter time-to-value. Immediate impact on bottom line.
Higher Reliability
Stable drone navigation through narrow aisles. Improved accuracy of recognition and location.

Warehouse Use Cases
By improving inventory data integrity and operational safety, drone adoption by warehouses immediately improves KPIs such as cycle counting frequency, worker safety, on-time deliveries, inventory and fulfillment accuracy, slot utilisation, etc.
Inventory Reconciliation
Drone-based inventory inspection can directly reduce human errors and risks involved in counting items stored in hard-to-reach locations.
Cycle Counting
Revenue loss can be minimized by increasing the frequency of cycle counting, powered by repeatable, automated drone-based inventory counts.
Security & Surveillance
Drone missions for perimeter security can augment manual surveillance, resulting in affordable, reliable protection of human and capital assets.
Inventory Audit
Annual inventory audits, that can take weeks to complete and result in long shut-downs, can be done much faster via 24×7 automated drone missions.
Roof Inspection
Warehouse structures can develop cracks, leaks, rust, etc. due to environmental conditions – periodic drone-based inspections can spot such damage early on.
Item Search
Order fulfillment, and accounting for missing/stolen items, can both benefit from drone-based search and recognition of items using standardized markers.
Buffer Stock
By improving inventory accuracy using drones, warehouse stakeholders can free up valuable capital locked up in buffer stock, especially during peak seasons.
Empty & Full Slot Detection
Expensive warehouse real estate can be optimally used by drone-based detection of empty and full slots, thus improving operational metrics.
Worker Productivity
By highlighting items with worn out or missing barcodes, drone-based counting can shift expensive human time to higher value inventory management activities.
Warehouse Use Cases
By improving inventory data integrity and operational safety, drone adoption by warehouses immediately improves KPIs such as cycle counting frequency, worker safety, on-time deliveries, inventory and fulfillment accuracy, slot utilisation, etc.
FlytBase Warehouse Solution Features
The FlytBase platform – with its IoT architecture – features intelligent plugins at the edge, APIs across the software stack, and autonomy at its core.
Collision Avoidance
Despite obstacles such as forklifts, floor storage and other equipment, drones can navigate narrow aisles and search for inventory in hard-to-reach locations.
Indoor Navigation
Intelligent automation, powered by computer vision, allows accurate indoor drone navigation in GPS-denied environments.
Autonomous Flights
Plan & execute automated, repeatable drone missions with FlytBase drone autonomy platform, removing dependence on expensive pilots.
Auto-Charging
FlytBase’s precision landing technology enables drones to autonomously and accurately land on charging pads, for multi-hour drone operations.
Coordinated Fleets
Drone-based inventory counting can be quickly scaled across facilities with a fleet of autonomous drones managed via a custom, unified dashboard.
Seamless Integration
Via seamless integration with existing WMS, drone mission control, live video feeds and inventory counts are made available to all stakeholders.
Barcode Detection
FlytBase uses AI/ML algorithms and computer vision techniques to locate & read item markers such as barcodes and airway bills.
Hardware Agnostic
FlytBase technology platform is compatible with all major drone platforms such as DJI, Yuneec, Ardupilot, and PX4.
