Automatically count SKUs stored on the ground in bulk bays.
FlytWare Drones for Bulk Storage (Block Stacking)
Automatically count SKUs stored on the ground in bulk bays
Benefits
Advantages of Bulk Storage
Bulk storage, i.e., on the ground storage allows faster access to individual inventory items or pallets without the use of specialized material handling equipment (MHE).
Affordable
Lower capital costs. No steel racking needed.
Easy Access
Suitable for high throughputs & fast moving inventory.
Heavy Goods
Goods like appliances, beverages, & chemical drums.

Challenge
Challenges with Inventory Counting in Bulk Storage
Despite years of continuous improvement in inventory operations and adoption of lean practices, the storage of too much inventory remains a common warehousing inefficiency in supply chain facilities worldwide.
Honeycombing
Honeycombing is a hidden cost of bulk storage, resulting in loss of storage capacity and poor utilization of expensive real estate.
Limited Visibility
It is often difficult for a person to count items at certain locations (e.g items at the top or middle of a high bay).
Human Error
Stocktaking being a repetitive and a time consuming task, a lack of focus in cycle counters can lead to inventory inaccuracy.
