ZURICH, Switzerland - March 12, 2025 - Verity, a pioneer in AI-powered mobile intelligence that enables complete warehouse operational visibility through fleets of fully autonomous drones, has introduced an AI-assisted item counting feature, designed to transform inventory management at picking locations and other warehouse locations.
Picking locations are one of the most challenging areas in warehouse operations, where issues have the greatest impact. Short picks and missing items disrupt fulfillment, leading to delays, penalties, client dissatisfaction and order cancellations. Relying solely on manual checks is a labor-intensive and error-prone process, further delaying the resolution of inventory discrepancies.
Combining fully autonomous drones and AI algorithms, the Verity system automates item, box and case counting, detects discrepancies and flags issues before they impact operations. The system captures depth information, creating a 3D map of the scene. An AI-powered vision algorithm identifies pallets, analyzes volumetric information and detects cases and boxes, ensuring accurate item and layer counts.
"AI-assisted item counting helps us proactively find errors, particularly at picking locations. The 3D image provided in the report is incredibly effective—especially when package configurations are available—as it clearly shows the number of layers on a pallet, making it easier for us to confirm deviations. With this assistance, we can now quickly identify potential picking errors in orders and react swiftly to resolve them," said James Matthew Rosal, site manager, DSV
Already deployed and delivering insights at multiple client sites, Verity’s AI-assisted item counting is now available for large-scale rollout.
- Fully autonomous scanning: drones scan picking and pallet locations without human intervention.
- AI-driven computer vision: identifies pallets, analyzes depth and volume, and counts items while flagging discrepancies.
- Real-time inventory insights: the Verity dashboard provides a detailed breakdown of inventory discrepancies.
- Visual verification: an image gallery combined with 3D reconstructions support issue investigation.
- Comprehensive reporting: full visibility into scanned locations and inventory status.
"As supply chains accelerate and margin pressures grow, even the smallest issues can derail operations—especially in order fulfillment. Verity’s new capability enables item-level precision, ensuring accuracy and operational reliability," said Raffaello D’Andrea, co-founder, CEO and chairman of Verity.
