Autonomous Flying Warehouse Drones Reach Luxury Retail eCommerce Fulfillment as PFS Partners with Vimaan for Automated Inventory Tracking Solutions
27 Juillet 2022 - 2:30PM
PFS, a premier eCommerce order fulfillment provider and business
unit of PFSweb, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFSW), today announced a partnership
with Vimaan, a technology provider delivering computer
vision-enabled solutions for warehouse inventory tracking, control
and management. For over 20 years, PFS has been an eCommerce leader
behind premier brands in health & beauty, fashion &
apparel, jewelry, and consumer packaged goods.
Initially, PFS is integrating Vimaan’s StorTRACK AIR, the
first-of-its-kind self-flying warehouse drones to automate
inventory tracking activities within one of PFS’s Memphis-based
fulfillment operation that stores and picks, packs, and ships
inventory for premier brands. Scanning inventory from the ground to
the ceiling, the robots capture up to 1,500 locations per hour and
deliver highly accurate inventory status details to the PFS
Warehouse Management System (WMS). The implementation of this
solution will improve the accuracy and traceability of client
product inventory across PFS’ fulfillment centers.
“With the rise in demand for multi-node fulfillment operations,
it’s more critical than ever to track inventory more efficiently
across our facilities,” noted Jon Gardner, Senior Vice President of
Fulfillment Operations at PFS. “Vimaan’s technology allows us to
implement real-time tracking against our WMS more accurately,
efficiently and safely. It also enables PFS to deploy immediate
investigation and adjustments to improve accuracy and
responsiveness for our clients. The implementation of this
technology means another step forward for PFS’ efforts to drive
innovation across our facilities in support of our clients’
eCommerce operations.”
“We believe near real-time 100% inventory accuracy and
visibility across the entire warehouse is attainable. PFS is not
only ahead of the curve by being one of the first in the industry
to utilize this groundbreaking technology, but they’re also a
valuable partner to us as we continue to innovate our technology
and solutions,” noted S.K. (“KG”) Ganapathi, Vimaan Founder and
CEO. “We expect PFS to gain significant efficiencies during the
cycle count/receiving and packing audit processes, resulting in the
same significant savings other clients have seen using this
technology.”
The technology is being initially deployed at a single location
within PFS’ Memphis-based fulfillment campus with current plans to
roll out to remaining global fulfillment centers through 2023.
“The deployment of this technology is another key step in our
planned innovation roadmap,” commented Zach Thomann, COO and
President of PFS. “We are continuously looking at additional
methods to produce more efficient eCommerce fulfillment operations,
such as autonomous mobile robotics, goods-to-person systems and
advanced scanning technology. We have opportunities to improve our
inbound receiving, put-away, quality inspection and shipping
processes by deploying these types of solutions and will continue
to explore additional capabilities that will benefit our clients.
Vimaan has been a great partner to help us achieve these objectives
with technology and consultation.”
