Autonomous warehouse drones, working from day one.

No new hardware. No training. No setup time. One indoor drone counts your inventory, shadows your people for engineered labor standards, checks putaway fit before the forklift moves, and takes on the next job your team thinks of. Your team runs it all from the Vision console inside Activate.

    Recorded in the Vision console in Activate, flying a simulated facility.

    One drone. Many jobs.

    The drone and the setup stay the same. Only the mission changes.

    Every job below started as a question from an operations team. If a job needs eyes in the air and a record of what was seen, bring it to us.

    Inventory counts

    Counts your WMS can trust, with a picture for every location.

    Ask for a location, a bay or an aisle. The drone flies it and files what it saw at every location: empty, occupied, or the pallet label it read. Each snapshot is kept at full size, next to the drone's own record.

    • Every location gets an outcome and the evidence behind it
    • Complete-or-nothing reports, no partial counts
    • Cycle counts daily instead of quarterly, without pulling people off the floor

    Engineered labor standards

    Labor standards from what actually happened on the floor.

    A drone shadows an associate and records the work from above. The footage is split into work elements and each one is timed, so the standard rests on continuous observation, not a handful of stopwatch samples.

    • Travel, handling and waiting all on film
    • Every element timed against the real path
    • The video stays on file as the evidence behind the number

    Putaway fit

    Putaway that fits the first time.

    The drone measures each pallet as it lands on the receiving dock, then checks it against the space actually left in the location the WMS proposes, before the operator drives it there.

    • Pallet dimensions captured at the dock, no tape measure or cubing station
    • Fit checked against the real remaining space, not the nominal size
    • A no-go comes back with the reason, before a wasted trip

    No hardware. No training. No setup.

    The drone navigates from the drawing you already have.

    There is nothing to install and nothing to teach. The drone finds its way indoors from your facility's CAD drawing and small printed tags on the rack uprights, without GPS.

    • No GPS, beacons, Wi-Fi mesh or new servers
    • No training flights and no mapping weeks
    • Missions can be rehearsed on a simulated model of the building first

    How it works

    Ask in plain language. A person says yes. The drone does the rest.

    Vision is a screen inside Activate: the fleet, the console, the mission queue and the evidence gallery sit alongside the rest of your tools.

    Ask

    Type what you need: count a location, a bay range or an aisle. Tiva writes a count order and checks every address against your location master. A zone that is not cleared for flight is refused, with the reason.

    Approve and release

    The order waits as a draft with its time estimate. A named person approves it, then releases it once the aisle is clear of forklifts and people. The drone plans the flight on board.

    Review the evidence

    Results land in Eyes: a snapshot and an outcome for every location, filterable by mission and outcome, ready to reconcile against your WMS.

    No new hardwareNo GPS, beacons or Wi-Fi mesh. The drones and your CAD drawing are all it takes.
    Validated ordersEvery location is checked against your address book before anything flies.
    A person's yesNothing leaves the ground without a named approval and a release.

    FAQ

    What people ask us.

    What is Veridian Vision?

    An autonomous indoor drone service for warehouses that needs no new hardware, no training flights and no setup time. The drones navigate from your facility's CAD drawing and do three jobs today: inventory counts, labor shadowing for engineered labor standards, and putaway fit checks at the receiving dock. It runs inside Activate, Veridian's implementation platform for Manhattan Active.

    What do I need to buy or install?

    Nothing beyond the drones themselves. There is no GPS, no beacon network, no Wi-Fi mesh and no new server. The drone navigates from the CAD drawing of your building and small printed tags on the rack uprights.

    How long until the first flight?

    The same day. There are no training flights and no mapping weeks: once the drone has your CAD drawing it can fly its first count or shadow mission.

    Who controls the flights?

    Your team. Every order is validated against your locations, a named person approves it, and it is released only once the aisle is clear. Abort and land requests are always available in the mission queue.

    What comes back from a count?

    A snapshot and an outcome for every location the drone visits, such as confirmed empty, occupied, or the pallet label it read, kept next to the drone's own record so your team can reconcile the count against the WMS.

    Can it do jobs beyond these three?

    Yes. The drone, the console and the setup stay the same; only the mission changes. If a job needs eyes in the air and a record of what was seen, tell us. Most of today's list began that way.
