Vimaan was founded to help companies solve the long-standing challenge of accurately monitoring, tracking and reporting on warehouse inventory.
Vimaan Company Profile
Warehouses achieve their highest levels of inventory tracking and accuracy with Vimaan’s PickTRACK. The first-of-its-kind, PickTRACK is a suite of computer vision sensors that delivers near real-time and actionable inventory insights based on warehouse pick and put activities. Mounted on existing MHE, PickTRACK automatically scans and reports on inventory as it is handled throughout warehouses and distribution centers.
PickTRACK is easily integrated into existing warehouse workflows with little to no infrastructure changes or workforce training. In addition to the MHE mounted cameras and sensors, PickTRACK utilizes proprietary and powerful set of vision algorithms, a WMS integration layer and transmits data to the Vimaan web application, ViewDECK, for inventory visualization and near real-time analysis. This data can be is shared with the warehouse WMS (or other system of record), providing customers with the most up to date view of their inventory.
Data collected through PickTRACK improves picking productivity by accurately pinpointing inventory locations. Inventory levels become much more precise due to data collected during pick and put-away events and tracking increments and decrements. Finally, PickTRACK data is also used for planning and optimizing MHE utilization across the warehouse, aiding in increased efficiencies for optimal inventory placement and pick missions.
Inventory accuracy consistently ranks among the top five challenges reported by warehouse managers. Accuracy is highly dependent on hard to find (and retain) labor resources. Most inventory “pick” and “put” processes require warehouse associates to use handheld scanners to manually scan item and location barcodes, in addition to data entry of inventory quantities. This process not only imposes an overhead on labor productivity; it also invariably introduces errors due to missed or incorrect scans, wrong quantities entered, or picks and puts from wrong locations – contributing to inaccurate WMS records.
PickTRACK is designed to address these specific problems through a suite of sensors and cameras mounted to existing MHE (such as forklifts or order pickers) that observe and track inventory events and locations in near real time. In addition to the cameras and sensors, PickTRACK utilizes the powerful Vimaan platform of proprietary computer vision algorithms, a WMS integration layer, and an intuitive, easy to use app, ViewDeck, that is accessible by inventory management personnel.
PickTRACK is designed to support easy integration into existing workflows, with little to no infrastructure changes or workforce training. PickTRACK delivers an unparalleled level of inventory tracking and validation within the four walls of the warehouse.
PickTRACK is a one-of-its-kind suite of computer vision sensors mounted directly on to existing forklifts and other MHE to ensure inventory and order fulfilment accuracy. Key features include:
