Cycling Counting with a Drone

Inventory Out of Reach?

If your warehouse uses cantilever racking, you know the struggle: those poles on the top shelf are nearly impossible to count accurately. They sit far above eye level, often requiring risky and time-consuming lifts or ladders just to get a visual.

Lost Time, Lost Products

This inability to get an easy, accurate count leads to significant issues:

  • Shrinkage and Variances: Without a reliable physical count, you're left guessing. This results in costly inventory variances and unexplained product loss that hurt your bottom line.

  • Wasted Labor: Sending a crew up in a lift to manually count just a few poles is an inefficient use of your most valuable resource—your people.

  • Safety Risks: Working above ground level heights to count inventory increases the potential for workplace accidents.

Cyclops Can

Cyclops is the safe, accurate, and undeniable way to count your inventory. We treat your inventory like the money it is.

How it works:

  1. A piloted drone is safely launched from the ground.

  2. The pilot precisely guides the drone to the top-most levels of your cantilever racks.

  3. The drone captures high-resolution images of the product poles.

  4. Proprietary machine vision software processes the images, delivering an exact, auditable count—eliminating any manual guesswork.
