What is Tinamu Labs All About?
Tinamu Labs is revolutionizing inventory monitoring with an end-to-end automated solution that gives you 24/7 visibility and control over your warehouse stockpile. Forget the old-school pilot-required drone flights or manual paper inventories that are slow, error-prone, and risky. Tinamu’s system is designed to bring trust and clarity to inventory management by delivering real-time insights straight to the cloud—at the push of a button. Born from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETH Zurich), this spin-off combines drone technology, lidar, and smart analytics to automate inspections and inventory counts seamlessly.
Main Benefits of Using Tinamu’s Automated Inventory Monitoring
Here’s why Tinamu Labs stands out:
- Operational Excellence: Always have up-to-date inventory data to optimize production and logistics planning.
- Risk Reduction: Never be left in the dark—know exactly what’s happening with your inventories at all times.
- Cost Savings: Full automation enables daily scans at just a fraction of traditional costs.
- Safety Improvements: Eliminates the need for manual, paper-based stockpile counts that are prone to errors and safety hazards.
- Environmental Impact: Reduces carbon emissions by streamlining inventory processes and cutting down inefficient operations.
How Tinamu’s Technology Works
Most companies still rely on manual stockpile inventories done on paper, which leads to inaccuracies, errors, and safety risks. The process is long, repetitive, and often skipped too frequently, causing inefficiencies in operations, planning, and supply chains. Even those trying to digitalize with lidar or drones face cumbersome, time-consuming workflows. Tinamu flips this script by offering a turnkey solution that automates the entire process—from drone flights to cloud-based analytics—making inventory monitoring fast, reliable, and hassle-free.
