In today’s world, drones have progressed as a technological headway that helps businesses to utilize them in building capabilities. The advancement in artificial technology and computer vision has created new ways of adopting drone technology in the business process. The applications of drone scanning vary and cover a wide range of industries such as agriculture, field services, and inventory management.
However, there is still a significant opportunity for other industries and technology companies to implement drone scanning to save costs and improve efficient workflows in their enterprise.
Drones as a scanning device
Industries are already shifting toward software-based scanners for efficient automation of their workflow process. Unlike conventional scanners, software scanners can be integrated into any existing smart device such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, drones, etc. They have the capability of transforming any smart device into an enterprise-grade scanner.
In certain scenarios of scanning, workers need to scan items placed on high shelves which require some external support such as a forklift or reach truck with which the workers have to manually scan the stocks and inventory. This procedure is time-consuming, expensive, and dangerous to workers handling it. Drone scanning is a game-changing solution for scanning products and pallets in warehouses. The drone captures data from text, barcodes, or any other object and provides the workers with real-time insights. Drone scanning has the ability to capture high-quality videos from aerial angles at any orientation.
Some of the use cases of drone scanning are farm surveying, tower inspections, and stock counting in large warehouses. These applications are gaining popularity, and help businesses to save money, improve safety, and produce quality results. Drone scanning requires less labor, reduces workforce hazards, and saves time and money.
What is Scanflow and how it works as a drone scanner?
Scanflow is an AI scanner on smart devices that captures data and automates a variety of industrial operations. It intelligently captures data from any text or object providing real-time information from it. Scanflow SDK works on mobiles, wearables, or drones and runs on a variety of operating systems such as iOS, Android, and frameworks like Xamarin, React Native, and other third-party systems. Drones can be seamlessly integrated with any enterprise and warehouse management system that can be accessed across multiple locations.
Drones help scan from places where workers cannot access them and provides instant information on the product or items being scanned without any errors. Drone scanning will act as an excellent method of liberating workers from potentially hazardous situations and the scanning can be completed without any human support from a safe distance.
