UAE - Mubasher: dnata, a Dubai-based air and travel services provider, has partnered with Gather AI, a US-based technology startup, to use autonomous drones in its warehouses at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in the US.
The use of drones will enable dnata to digitise acceptance and warehouse inventory processes by monitoring shipments with 99.8% accuracy, according to a press release on Monday.
Coupled with a tablet device, the drones will deploy Gather AI’s innovative software to collect inventory data, count cases, measure temperature, and read barcodes through their cameras only.
The air and travel services provider seeks to gradually use the drones across its global cargo network in the next years.
dnata’s Divisional Vice President for Operations and Product Development, Guillaume Crozier, said: "This new technology, combined with our strong cargo product expertise, enables us to significantly enhance efficiency and mitigate the risk of revenue leakage throughout the customer journey."
Meanwhile, Gather AI’s Co-Founder and Chief Robotics Engineer, Sankalp Arora, commented: "This transparency coupled with near-real-time visibility brings the power of analytics to physical spaces, minimizing revenue leakage while helping develop trust across operations."
