Kolman’s Korner: Now where did they drop that trailer?

March 2, 2015
Drones for tracking trailers, vehicles and equipment.

Don’t be surprised if you soon see drones flying around your shop or facility.

PINC Solutions, a provider of yard management and supply chain software, is launching a drone technology service called PINC Air to provide accurate inventory tracking on a range of products, including trailers, finished vehicles and heavy machinery.

The drones, built using industrial grade components, have fully autonomous flight, along with return to home and auto landing. In additional, they have automatic RFID data collection.

Video capture is optional.
