Actel Robotics offers both one-time autonomous inventory scans and ongoing subscriptions for Houston-area DCs. The right model depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
When One-Time Drone Rental Makes Sense
- Annual physical inventory: Replace the 50–130-person PI team. GNC reduced from 130 people to 8 using this approach.
- Proof of concept: See your facility's accuracy before committing to a subscription.
- M&A due diligence: Verify inventory values during acquisition diligence.
- Audit support: Timestamped drone scans as external auditor observation method.
- New facility baseline: Establish WMS state before go-live.

When Subscription Makes More Sense
If your goal is ongoing accuracy improvement — eliminating failed picks, replacing the annual PI, making your WMS trustworthy daily — the subscription delivers significantly more value. Daily autonomous counting vs. an annual snapshot.
