Drone inside a warehouse—engineering focus for cargo UAV operations

Technologies

Architecture for CTOs, chief engineers, and safety teams.

Heavy-lift platforms demand predictable braking, sling dynamics, and navigation stability when floor traffic moves anchors. The three tabs below are the layers every Vault-Tek program is built on.

Each tab below goes deeper. The photo on the right switches with the topic; in a pilot you receive numbers for your site—RF maps, swarm simulation, and a draft API contract—not slideware.

Indoor GPS is absent or unreliable. We pair UWB anchors (Decawave DWM3000 class) tied to the warehouse frame with visual odometry / SLAM to ride through short anchor gaps when doors or steel traffic move. Heavy-lift pendulum dynamics matter—we filter IMU data and cap acceleration profiles.

During design we model the volume: 3D anchor layout, expected multipath from racks and doors, and corridor speed limits. For the pilot we lock KPIs: time-to-first-fix, hover drift, anchor-drop probability during typical forklift moves—only then do we sign up for production rollout.

High-bay warehouse—context for indoor navigation and UWB

Stack: ROS 2, MAVLink telemetry, MQTT events, REST for WMS/TMS.

On request: swarm simulation before anchor install, API load tests, and a firmware regression bench.
