Inventory & Stock Operations

Track, count and move inventory with warehouse robots, vision and automation software.

Questions to answer before choosing

Use these three questions to define the job before comparing products.

  • Is the primary task counting, locating, replenishing or physically moving stock?
  • What barcode, RFID or vision accuracy is required at aisle and item level?
  • How will exceptions synchronize with the WMS, ERP and human operators?

When not to automate yet

Consider whether improving the current workflow would meet your needs first.

Works well when
  • Consistent location and labelling rules
  • A counting cadence that can run alongside normal work
  • A named owner for the WMS or ERP interface
What to check
  • Accuracy on high shelves, occluded items and mixed bins
  • How discrepancies are raised, reviewed and written back
  • Sync frequency and conflict handling with the system of record
Not a magic solution
  • A replacement for an accurate location and ledger baseline
  • Reliable counting of long-term mixed or unlabelled stock
  • A full-site count without pausing operations

Three ways to solve the same problem

Choose the lowest layer that reliably removes the bottleneck.

01

Process first

Standardize the workflow, remove unnecessary steps and measure the bottleneck before buying technology.

02

Software automation

Use workflows, RPA or AI agents when the work is digital and the inputs and exceptions can be defined.

03

Physical robot

Use an arm, AMR, drone or humanoid when movement in the real world is the constraint to remove.
