About Verity
Verity’s inventory system uses lightweight autonomous drones that leave charging stations and scan warehouse racks without GPS or a human pilot. The aircraft photographs pallet positions, labels and rack occupancy during scheduled missions, then returns to its dock for charging. Onboard and cloud software associate each observation with a precise storage location and compare it with expected inventory.
Warehouse teams review discrepancies, empty locations, damaged stock and misplaced pallets through the Verity platform or connected enterprise systems. Frequent automated scans keep the resulting digital twin current between manual inventory cycles. Verity reports deployments across more than 100 warehouses and millions of inventory checks each month, with installation, monitoring and support supplied as part of the operating system.
