INNOVATIVE INVENTORY TECHNOLOGY

PROVIDES ROBOTIC SCANNING AND DATA ACQUISITION IN A FORKLIFT-BASED PAYLOAD

      • The barcode scanner, or other data collection devices (up to 5 can be used for faster scanning) are mounted on the forklift.
      • The driver stays safely on the ground and drives the scanner(s) up to the pallets, while watching a live video feed of the scanning process and interacting with the user-friendly scanning software.
      • By using IoT technology like lidars, the system can detect if there is a pallet missing, how high the pallet is, and automatically selects the correct bin location.
      • In sub-zero Celsius warehouses, clients have reported a tenfold increase in operator efficiency.
      • Clients enjoy the simple training for operators and the speedy impact on warehouse efficiency, using their existing forklift equipment.

         The DroneScan Buffalo equipment consists of four robotic barcode scanners for conventional barcode scanning and a pallet counting sensor for counting pallets in multi-deep (“flow rack” or “shuttle rack”) storage. The Buffalo unit is portable, and requires no fixed installation, it is easy to use and takes just seconds to install and start scanning.

“DroneScan have impressed us with the ease of use of their solution and the speed and enthusiasm with which they have turned around incremental innovations.”
