IKEA employees working alongside AI drones

IKEA is advancing its use of drone technology with an upgraded AI-powered system that operates alongside co-workers around the clock. 

This cutting-edge system will integrate continuously into fulfillment units, including distribution centers. 

After a year of successful testing at its distribution center in Winterslag, Belgium, IKEA plans to expand its drone deployment to more locations over the next year.

Key Takeaways

• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The integration of 24/7 operational drones automates stock inventory, allowing employees to focus on customer service, accelerating stock management, and boosting productivity.

• Improved Co-Worker Experience: IKEA’s drones take over physically demanding tasks, reducing ergonomic strain and injury risks, which allows employees to engage in more fulfilling work.
