Delivery firm, DHL said it managed to reduce 92% in cycle count time at one operation and 56% productivity improvement in another by using Infinium Robotics, AI-powered autonomous warehouse drone technology.
Infinium founder and CEO Jon Woon said this “pleasant surprise” came in the form of a recent LinkedIn post by DHL Supply Chain Malaysia Managing Director Mario Lorenz.
Lorenz shared the post to showcase Infinium’s successful deployment of indoor drones for logistics clients in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and elsewhere in Asia Pacific. Infinium’s client portfolio includes multinationals such as Coca-Cola, Chevron Oronite and CEVA Logistics.
“We’re now running an autonomous self-flying drone system, integrated with advanced camera and mobile robot technology, across four of our sites in central & in the north. Designed for indoor cycle counting, it independently scans inventory and generates discrepancy reports by comparing drone data directly with our Warehouse Management System.
“The impact has been clear … 100% inventory count accuracy, 2,000 locations scanned in just eight hours, and a 92% reduction in cycle-count time at one operation (from 84 hours to six).
“For another one of our customers, we’ve also seen a 56% productivity improvement, freeing teams to focus on higher-value work,” he wrote.
“This is the kind of innovation that matters: practical, scalable, and enabled through strong partnerships with CelcomDigi. Looking forward to seeing more automations like this creating real impact across our operations,” Lorenz concluded.
Woon said the Infinium team appreciated DHL’s public endorsement of its stocktaking and cycle-counting services deployed in partnership with a telco, and looks forward to helping more warehouse operators, including small and medium enterprises.
