Why Fast Scanner Outperforms Drone Technology for Inventory Management

In today’s fast-paced logistics world, speed, security, and efficiency are crucial, especially in inventory management. Many companies are weighing their options between drone technology and other innovations. Fast Scanner, an inventory solution that integrates seamlessly with forklifts, offers distinct advantages over drones for stocktaking in warehouses. Here’s why:

1. Autonomy and Seamless Integration

Fast Scanner:

• Integrates directly with forklifts, enabling a smooth workflow without the need for additional specialists or setup of navigation markers. This makes Fast Scanner plug-and-play, leveraging existing resources and enhancing operational flow.

Drones:

• Require markers to navigate effectively, adding to setup time and costs, which may also require skilled operators to manage them.

2. Enhanced Security

Fast Scanner:

• Operates without requiring aisle closures, minimizing disruptions and maintaining high levels of safety within existing warehouse operations.

Drones:

• Pose potential security risks if navigation fails or malfunctions occur, potentially leading to temporary aisle closures and operational downtime.

3. Velocity of Operation

Fast Scanner:

• Maintains a consistent speed of around 2 meters per second when mounted on forklifts, allowing for rapid and efficient inventory management without slowing down operations.

Drones:

• Move significantly slower in front of goods, particularly when reading or scanning, making them less efficient for large-scale inventory tasks.

4. No Battery Limitations

Fast Scanner:

• Utilizes the forklift’s battery, allowing it to run for hours without interruption. This eliminates the need for frequent battery swaps or additional equipment.

Drones:

• Face limited flight times, requiring either multiple drones or spare batteries for continuous operation, which can complicate logistics and increase costs.

5. Processing Speed for Real-Time Results

Fast Scanner:

• Equipped with a powerful onboard computing unit, Fast Scanner processes video streams rapidly and provides quick, actionable data.

Drones:

• Due to limited carrying capacity, drones cannot support powerful onboard processors, often requiring video streams to be processed online, leading to slower data retrieval.

The Verdict: Fast Scanner is Ready for High-Impact Inventory Management

While drones have their place in tech innovation, the Fast Scanner stands out as the clear choice for inventory management, especially for warehouses looking to boost efficiency and streamline processes without sacrificing security or speed.
