Infinium Robotics won the popular vote in the DHL Innovation Day’s Startup Challenge., with the majority of the event’s over 140 attendees being convinced by the company’s vision to automate warehouse stocktake and inventory processes with autonomous drones.
Infinium Robotics will be exhibiting its drone guidance platform in the DHL Innovation Center. The platform and Infinium’s drone hardware will be further explored by DHL for piloting in real operations.
“When flying indoors, drones face none of the regulatory issues that have stymied their widespread adoption for last-mile deliveries and other outdoor applications,” said Junyang Woon, CEO, Infinium Robotics. “Infinium’s platform automates everything from highly precise indoor navigation to recharging at a network of charge points, allowing warehouse operators to reliably track, manage, and optimize their inventories in real-time and at significantly reduced costs. That, in turn, improves everything from worker safety – often put at risk due to the sheer height of warehouse racks – to the productivity of warehouses in today’s 24/7 fulfilment environment.”
