Overview / Usage

In the recent years, the technology growth in the sector of USVs / UAVs has been enormous. When it comes to
UAVs, Quad copters play a major role and the platforms / hardware-software availability has become abundant
which offer more choices and enhanced performance. One must be aware of the usage of the UAVs towards delivery
of goods, pizzas etc. Taking the growth and available facilities, we have attempted to use the Quad copters towards
enhancing/increasing the efficiency in monitoring the warehouse through a frugal and cost effective approach. We
have proposed to use the drones inside a warehouse for inventory monitoring. Through the literature survey, we understood that there is a lot of loss because of inefficient monitoring techniques, which mostly involve human efforts.
While manual verification is both time consuming and error prone, we have used Drones, Data Analytics, Android
and IoT as the backbone to simplify the process. This approach is found to be affordable, accurate and viable. Our
drone will fly inside the warehouse, track the goods and components rack wise, and give an alert/update to the store
manager through both web interface and android application that we have developed. This way, we can track every
individual box in the warehouse, while eliminating the chance for it to be lost/untracked.
