British Airway uses a drone system to automate inventory

IAG Cargo – the parent company of the British airline British Airway has successfully used the Drone system at its cargo warehouse in Mandrid with the hope of cutting thousands of hours a year in locating cargo in warehouse.

Drones, also known as UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), are drones that can be remotely controlled, used for the purpose of assisting people in production and life activities. Typically, Amazon has successfully applied this technology in home delivery; and British Airways continues to use Drone to automatically inventory goods.

The deployment of IAG’s advanced automation solution has met the rapid digitization of the aviation industry. Instead of manually counting quantities, the Drone system helps people reduce the burden of inventories while still capturing large quantities of inventory at transport facilities.

In fact, IAG Cargo has partnered with FlytBase in scanning aerial inventory at the Mandrid branch. FlytBase is a business specializing in the development and development of unmanned aircraft systems, with the mission of helping other businesses to expand their operations with this system. FlytBase offers a comprehensive solution with accurate landing features, obstacle avoidance and user-friendly control panels. In addition, with the integrated cloud feature, the FlytBase solution allows managers to plan for each stage, perform monitoring, auditing, and automate inventory inventory processes.

With a wide automation vision, it is easier to manage large quantities of goods. In transportation activities, the inventory process is very important; It occupies a large amount of time and labor. At IAG Cargo facilities in the UK, Spain and Ireland, this period takes thousands of hours.

Under the IAG, drones can assist in increasing the frequency of stock inventories. Currently, FlytBase provides IAG Cargo with effective automation software as well as continuous improvements in warehouse automation through artificial intelligence (AI) software and machine learning. (Machine Learning); thereby providing automatic aerial inventory scanning.

IAG Cargo said the next driver will continue to test and develop certain elements of the drone system, to improve what has been achieved.

In general, with the outstanding features of the Drone system, IAG has demonstrated the development of the industry and air transport in the future. The processes are automated with the goal of managing time and reducing pressure on workers.
