Autonomous drones meet LEA Reply: Real-time inventory at LogiMAT 2026

The drone-based inventory management solution is designed for both indoor and outdoor warehouses, leveraging DJI Enterprise drones. It offers a fully integrated connection to the LEA Reply™ WMS, enabling real-time transmission of location codes, LHM codes, position data, timestamps, and status information. At our booth, you will have the opportunity to experience first-hand how an inventory drone is remotely controlled, carrying out the entire inventory process in real time – from mission initiation to the automated update of stock records within the WMS.

Autonomous inventory works as follows: Inventory missions are planned directly within the LEA Reply™ WMS, where users define the warehouse areas to be checked and launch the mission with just a few clicks. The drone then autonomously navigates to the specified storage locations, scans barcodes and labels, captures positions and images, and transmits all relevant data directly to LEA Reply™ via standardized REST APIs. The WMS instantly reconciles the captured information with target stock levels, flags any discrepancies, and makes the results immediately available for further processing and analysis. As a result, inventory cycles become seamless, precise, and largely automated.
