Discover the benefits of drone for warehouses to increase operational efficiency in production facilities.
EYESEE is an inventory drone solution for logistics warehouses organized in pallets.
The solution improves inventory processes by meeting the needs of logisticians and manufacturers.
Inventory is a task that requires many resources: financial, material and human.
Furthermore, regulations require companies to take an inventory of their stock at least once a year.
Manual inventory
Inventory by drone
10 persons & more
Only 1 person to supervise the flight of the drone
The use of 1 or more scissors lifts (owned or rented)
No scissors lift
1 visit/years per location
50 locations per hour
4 visits/years per location
Up to 500 locations per hour
60 to 90 seconds per location
6 to 10 seconds per location
Thanks to the time savings generated by the use of the EYESEE Solution, companies can switch to cycle count inventory while reducing their inventory costs.
The importance of accurate inventory tracking in the warehouse should not be underestimated as errors generate direct operational costs.
It is important that all goods in the warehouse are accurately accounted for so that customer orders can be delivered on time.
The drone for warehouses EYESEE allows faster and more frequent inventories to identify potential errors.
Thanks to the different modes that can be configured, you can create inventory missions:
Employee safety in the warehouse is a major issue for logisticians. As soon as an operator has to access a stock at height and uses a scissor lift, he increases his risk of falling.
Thanks to the drone for warehouses, it has become possible to eliminate the use of scissors lift to control stocks, and thus significantly reduce the risks associated with working at height.
With EYESEE, only one person is needed to inventory your entire inventory. No more need for cradles. The solution also integrates many safety functions. In case of structural defects, damaged pallets or pierced packages, the operator can declare a point of interest during the flight.
With reliable inventory counts, orders will be in compliance and shipped as expected by the customer. The impact of accurate inventory tracking is not limited to cost savings and increased efficiency.
The ability to provide optimal customer service depends on having the right products in the right place at the right time.
To achieve this goal requires frequent and accurate inventory counts.
With the EYESEE solution, identify inventory errors upstream before they become costly downstream problems.
In fact, finished goods warehouses adjacent to or near production sites often receive, store and reship goods in a full handling unit format. The main reason for this is that these pallets are destined for distributors or other depots where they will be broken down and shipped in packages or reassembled depending on the destination. These warehouses therefore have a proportion of racked reserves close to 100%. Most of the time, there is no picking activity, which ensures that the pallets made up, filmed and labeled with the quantity are compliant and perfectly readable by the drone. The production sites thus have all the criteria to benefit 100% from the advantages offered by EYESEE.
How much time do you spend controlling your finished goods inventory?

Wondering how your inventory mission is done with EYESEE?
We reveal all in the video below. Get on board during a supervision of an inventory mission with EYESEE. The drone inventory solution will have no more secrets for you!

Beginning of the mission
You are probably wondering “How does EYESEE Drone know which locations to scan?
The answer is very simple: Beforehand, the dimensions of the aisle faces in the warehouse were entered. Mapping is a 2D representation of an aisle face in a warehouse. By indicating:
EYESEE Drone knows at any time in front of which location it is.
Data acquisition:
EYESEE detects full and empty locations, and takes pictures of each location.
00:26: When EYESEE Drone detects and scans the barcode on the pallet, the code appears in green at the bottom of the control screen.
02:22: If the location is empty. The word “empty” appears at the bottom of the control screen.
03:00: When the drone does not detect any barcode, but the location is full, a ” no scan ” appears at the bottom of the control screen.
There are different reasons for this:
Figure above: Point of Interest (POI) declaration menu
2. The barcode is not readable. EYESEE Drone did not succeed in reading it. In this case, the operator can ask EYESEE Drone to restart the bar code acquisition at this location, or without operator intervention if the automatic mode is activated.
3. A dynamic storage: the pallet is on 2 locations at the same time, and only one barcode is present. The post mission data processing will correct the error.
End of the mission:
Time saving:
The timer indicates the duration of the mission.
In the mission presented in the video, EYESEE Drone inventoried a side of 36 locations in an AFTRAL school in 04min25, that is to say an average of 7 seconds per location, with a vertical speed configured on “intermediate” (60cm/s).

The program:
EYESEE is a warehouse drone inventory. This solution allows one person to scan an average of 400 pallet locations per hour.
Thanks to these different modes of use (with expected, blind, spot location), EYESEE is a powerful tool to switch to cycle count inventory.
Many companies chose EYESEE for the inventory of their warehouses. This is especially the case of L’ORÉAL.
Before EYESEE, L’ORÉAL carried out manual inventories with :
Thanks to the inventory drone solution, L’ORÉAL has switched to a cycle count inventory of 1 to 2 hours per week. This allows the company to check each location more than 4 times a year and thus reduce stock errors (with an accuracy of 99.8% and continuous opening of the logistics centre without any interruption of activities).
