Nokia has launched a true inventory counting capability for its Nokia Autonomous Inventory Monitoring Service (AIMS), enabling warehouse operators to utilize autonomous drones to individually count items, such as eaches, cases or cartons, in any racked inventory location.
The new inventory counting capability adds to Nokia AIMS’ current features of finding misplaced and lost inventory, as well as empty bin detection. If a human worker can count inventory from the aisle, the Nokia AIMS drone can count it too. Identified inventory counts are then compared with warehouses’ existing WMS or ERP systems to identify any quantity mismatches.
Nokia AIMS is delivered as a service in a complete solution comprising of drones, software and a cloud-based user interface.
