@Jim Mass : 我们Sientis公司(原Nokia Ames)的无人机库存监控服务(AIMS)旨在解决仓库库存盘点效率低、准确率差的问题。通过在仓库中部署配备先进人工智能和计算机视觉技术的无人机,我们可以自动扫描条形码、二维码和车牌号等信息,并将数据传输到用户界面。这将帮助仓库运营商识别丢失的库存、错误的库存和不匹配的物品,从而提高库存准确性和运营效率。无人机体积小巧,适合各种规模的仓库,可以显著减少人工盘点所需的人力,降低成本,并让员工专注于其他更重要的任务,例如拣货、包装和订单管理。最终,我们的目标是让仓库经理能够随时随地轻松查看仓库的库存状况,从而减轻他们的负担。 @Rajiv J Gandhi : 我们的用户界面提供每日扫描数据,包括扫描日期、通道、位置数量以及WMS数据分析结果。用户可以查看丢失库存、找到的物品、错放的物品以及WMS中未记录的物品等信息。系统还会提供相应的图像信息,并根据需要对图像进行分类和筛选,例如突出显示最重要的图像。此外,系统还支持用户取消审核并重新检查,方便沟通和协作。我们的系统不断更新迭代,提供更详细的库存信息,例如货位级别的信息和产品信息,帮助用户优化库存管理。系统能够识别整托盘的货物,无需逐个计数,提高效率。 @Mouhyemen Khan : 我们的无人机解决方案采用自主导航技术,无需在仓库安装任何外部标记,能够快速部署并适应各种仓库环境。无人机体积小巧,能够在狭窄的通道中飞行,并具有较长的续航时间(25-30分钟)和高分辨率摄像头,能够进行精确导航和数据采集。无人机能够扫描各种类型的条形码和字符,并进行箱子计数,提供多种库存数据分析。我们不仅提供图像数据,还进行数据处理,为客户提供有意义的分析结果,例如丢失库存、缺失箱子等信息。在单次充电下,无人机可以扫描数百个货位,多次任务后可以扫描数千个货位,效率远高于人工盘点。

Chapters
Sientis, a Nokia venture, utilizes drone technology to improve warehouse inventory accuracy and efficiency. Their Autonomous Inventory Monitoring Service (AIMS), now rebranded as Sientis, addresses the inefficiencies of manual counting methods, offering a significant ROI by reducing errors and freeing up employees for other tasks. The drones are designed to fit various warehouse sizes and significantly reduce the number of employees needed for inventory.
  • Sientis uses drones with AI and computer vision to improve inventory accuracy.
  • Manual inventory counting is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Sientis' solution offers a positive ROI by reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency.
  • Drones can fit into small and large warehouse spaces.
