IKEA Employees Will Have A Drone Buddy
Ikea has upgraded its stock-counting drone system and plans to bring the AI-powered drones to its Perryville, Maryland, distribution center.
The drones will now fly 24/7 alongside human workers to count inventory and ensure items are in the correct location.
The drones, which are part of a fleet of over 250 operating across 73 warehouses in nine countries, are expected to reduce ergonomic strain on workers and allow them to focus on lighter and more engaging tasks.
