Autonomous AI drones for HMGMA inventory counting
Hyundai reported inventory counts taking about 30 minutes after Glovis deployed drones at HMGMA
Problem
Workers manually checked inventory locations for knock-down vehicle parts. High storage positions and obstructed views complicated counting.
Approach
Hyundai Glovis deployed 2 autonomous AI drones at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America. They photographed boxes along indoor flight paths and transferred data through a base station to the inventory-management system. Computer vision and inertial sensors supported indoor navigation.
Results
Takeaway
The drones connected physical inventory checks to the existing logistics system. The timing comparison was reported by Hyundai Motor Group.
