Founded in 2014 from a Durban, South Africa, base, DroneScan develops drone-based inventory scanning systems for large warehouses. The flagship Hummingbird system uses drones equipped with barcode and RFID scanners, integrated with warehouse management systems such as SAP, to automate stocktaking. Retail, food, and logistics customers benefit through reduced man-hours and improved safety. ISO 9001 certification supports the work; pilots have run with global firms including Nestle, with U.S. and European partners actively sought to expand the footprint.
