Avular and Zetes collaborate to revolutionize warehouse automation with autonomous drones


We’re excited to announce a new collaboration between Avular and Zetes Netherlands, aimed at revolutionizing how warehouses manage their inventory. Together, we’re developing an autonomous pallet inventory counting solution—bringing the future of logistics one step closer. This partnership is a major step toward the next generation of automation in logistics and make robotics more accessible and impactful.

The partnership between Avular and Zetes combines the best of both companies' expertise. Avular will leverage its advanced autonomous drone technology, while Zetes will provide its ImageID camera technology and ZetesMedea Logistics Execution Software to decode data and seamlessly integrate it into warehouse management systems.

The joint solution is designed to optimize inventory management by employing autonomous drones to quickly and accurately scan pallet stocks. This method not only accelerates the inventory counting process but also minimizes errors, ensuring real-time inventory visibility.

The autonomous nature of this solution allows inventory operations to be conducted without human intervention. Consequently, warehouse staff can focus on more complex tasks such as order picking and parcel sorting. This reallocation of resources is particularly valuable in light of ongoing labor shortages in the logistics sector. Koen Evers, Managing Director of Avular, commented, "We are convinced that our autonomous drone solutions, in collaboration with Zetes, will be a game-changer for inventory counting and logistics processes in warehouses. By combining Zetes' knowledge and software with our products, we offer a turnkey solution to our customers."

The first live pilot of this innovative system is already underway, signaling a significant step forward in meeting the rising demand for smarter and more efficient logistics solutions. Paul Lankhout, Managing Director of Zetes Netherlands, stated, "Integrating Avular's drone solution into our portfolio provides organizations with an innovative way to count inventories. This aligns with our strategy to continuously offer new ways to improve supply chains. The extensive knowledge in robotics and the ambition of the Avular team make them the perfect partner for us."

Avular and Zetes are at the forefront of what they describe as a logistics revolution, aiming to redefine the future of warehouse automation. This partnership highlights their commitment to developing and implementing advanced technologies to optimize logistics processes, enabling businesses to stay agile in rapidly evolving markets. The companies invite interested parties to stay tuned for updates as this transformative vision comes to life, promising significant advancements in the field of warehouse automation.
