In 2016, IKEA began using drones to conduct stock
inventory in their warehouses. This innovative approach has allowed IKEA to
streamline their inventory management process and improve efficiency.
Traditional inventory management can be a tedious and
time-consuming process. It involves manually counting and tracking items in a
warehouse, which can take hours or even days to complete. This process is not
only labour-intensive, but also prone to errors, which can result in inaccurate
inventory counts and misplaced items. Additionally, traditional inventory
management can be dangerous for workers who have to climb ladders or reach high
shelves to count items.
To solve these problems, IKEA turned to drones. The
company began using drones equipped with cameras and sensors to fly over their
warehouses and scan barcodes on products. The drones then transmit this data to
a central database, which updates the inventory count in real-time. This
process eliminates the need for manual counting and reduces the risk of errors.

The use of drones for inventory management in IKEA's warehouses has revolutionized the way the company manages its stock. As the technology continues to develop and improve, it is likely that we will see more and more retailers adopting similar systems as a key part of their inventory management strategy.
