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.
