  • 1.  Drone for CMB routes for elevated conveyance.

    Posted 08-21-2025 02:07 PM

    I was asked to look for a vendor that may be able to help with Some CMB routes for Amazon fulfilment centers  wondering if oanyone has a contact or provides these services: A company's/software (hopefully associated with drone technology) that can help us with elevated inspections.  More specifically, we are looking for a drone that has the ability to conduct audits to verify gap and angle measurements for conveyor transitions.

     I've been able to find several drone companies that can navigate to these areas but not with the software that can collect data/images, to accurately measure the gaps and angles for conveyance.  Must be capable of measuring with a tolerance of 1/8" and accuracy of angle to within 2 degrees

    Hi, 

    Consider contacting UAS inc.  Our organization has used them for inspections frequently. They are very innovative.  They may at least be able to point you in the right direction. 

    best regards,

    Have you tried looking into Flyability? They have Drones available with surveying Payloads using Faro metrology software. this may be useful for your application.
