Inventory management is a critical yet tedious task in the retail industry. However, automation is set to transform this monotonous chore into an efficient and complaint-free process. Robots excel at repetitive tasks, and counting inventory is no exception.
At the recent Modex event, a plethora of solutions were showcased to address the challenges of warehouse inventory management. The complexity of cataloging vast quantities and reaching towering heights has spurred the development of drone technology and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with advanced features.
Cypher Robotics, a leader in automation, introduced a groundbreaking system that combines the best of both worlds. Their latest AMR isn’t just a mobile platform; it doubles as a launchpad for a drone, providing significant vertical reach to navigate the expansive warehouse space.
The Captis drone, featured at GreyOrange’s booth, represents the company’s commitment to integrating third-party robotics to achieve complete warehouse automation. Designed to assist with cycle counting, the Captis robot ensures inventory records align with actual stock levels.
What sets this drone apart is its tethered design, which remains concealed within the AMR platform. This hardwired connection allows the drone to operate for extended periods—up to five hours—before requiring a recharge, significantly outperforming untethered counterparts.
Cypher Robotics’ innovative approach to inventory management is poised to dominate the industry, offering unparalleled efficiency and accuracy in warehouse operations.
