PD Ports deploys drone technology to enhance safety

PD Ports has worked with RAWview to implement a new drone stock counting system, the inventAIRy XL, at its Felixstowe warehouse. Stock counts were identified as a key area to implement technology because they require staff to work at height on scissor lifts. The new technology is expected to remove the need to work at height in order to perform important stock counts. It is also designed to increase efficiency, accuracy, and reduce risks and carbon emissions. PD Ports stock control and systems manager, Jonathan Borg, said: “Some pallet racking in our Felixstowe warehouse goes up to 8 meters high, which involves an element of risk because it involves our operatives spending a significant amount of time working at height on a scissor lift.” We have very high safety standards, the inventAIRy XL solution has enabled us to do just that. According to Borg, the technology has also freed the team up elsewhere, in addition to making the work environment safer.
