'Geodis Countbot' for safe warehouse inventory
Geodis and Delta Drone have launched 'Geodis Countbot', a stabilized automated system, equipped with a drone, which is able to carry out inventory and inventory checks. An inventory can be done in real time, without human intervention other than a supervising operator, and without any special equipment.
“Inventory is a time-consuming activity and can be risky for humans, requiring operations to be shut down and the rental of personnel lifts. With the countbot, an inventory can now be carried out quickly, automatically and safely,” explained Romain Cauvet, global engineering director, supply chain optimization, Geodis.
In terms of performance, the first assignments carried out in a 10,000 sqm warehouse, allow us to estimate inventory time at under three hours, instead of the one to two days it used to take. (mw)
