Anyline GmbH, a global specialist in mobile data capture and data insights, has introduced a new autonomous drone inventory management software that can scan an entire warehouse efficiently, in collaboration with Mondi – a packaging and paper company.
Seeking to improve its inventory management process across multiple, large warehouse locations, Mondi tested several technology options including handheld RFID and camera scanners before a breakthrough was achieved with Anyline’s mobile data capture technology within DJI Mini 3 Pro drones.
Prior to using barcode scanning drones, multiple workers used forklifts to manually lift two people at a time to scan inventory across large warehouses, sometimes only once per year. This process involves working at heights and, due to the need for space and extra safety measures, had to be done with overtime outside of warehouse operating hours. Now, a single drone operator can scan all the inventory aisle-by-aisle in a warehouse during operating hours. The new modern process is safer, very accurate and alleviates a mandatory after hours full warehouse count all at once.
“Both Anyline and Mondi are passionate about innovation. We are proud to be a part of this project, which is redefining what is technologically possible in inventory management but can also be applied across other industries. We look forward to continuing to work with Mondi and other organisations redefining expectations and inspiring others to innovate and transform the way they work,” says Lukas Kinigadner, CEO and co-founder at Anyline.
Anyline has established itself as a global specialist in mobile data capture and data insights. Using the latest, most innovative Artificial Intelligence and machine learning approaches, Anyline gives businesses the power to read, measure and interpret visual information with any mobile device.
