IFM creating uas for warehouse inventory upkeep
Intelligent Flying Machines has developed a UASthat warehouses can use for inventory upkeep and management. The UAS are currently in their testing phase, with plans to go commercial next year.
The plan of IFM is for companies to deploy several of their UASinside of a warehouse, and those UASwould be tasked with scanning isles and collecting various pieces of information. The UASare designed to operate autonomously, and once they complete their missions, they can land without any human supervision or oversight to recharge. The information that the UAScollect will be sent to a cornpany's inventory software and cross-referenced with company data, and errors and alerts will be sent to tablets for workers to check at the beginning of their shifts.
