Corvus Robotics Launches Autonomous Freezer Warehouse Drones
Corvus Robotics drones are transforming how frozen goods warehouses manage inventory. Designed to operate in temperatures as low as -20°F (-29°C), these autonomous drones handle inventory scanning nonstop keeping workers out of harsh freezer conditions.
Built specifically for industrial cold storage facilities, the system works without requiring warehouse modifications. It flies steadily through active shifts, scanning pallets and tracking shelf life in real time.
Built for Harsh, Subzero Environments
Unlike conventional automation systems, Corvus Robotics drones are engineered to function in extreme freezer airflow and subzero temperatures. The drones:
* Operate continuously in -20°F environments
* Read barcodes even if frosted, damaged, or partially obscured
* Stabilize flight against strong blower airflow
* Adjust scanning settings dynamically
The system uses industrial-grade barcode scanners that accurately capture data without the need for Wi-Fi, additional lighting, or special labeling systems. Warehouse operators can keep doors, cooling systems, and blowers running normally, ensuring operations remain uninterrupted.
Real-Time Inventory Without Disruption
One of the biggest advantages of Corvus Robotics drones is their ability to provide near real-time inventory updates. The system tracks:
* Pallet locations
* Storage duration
* Shelf-life compliance
* Inventory movement
By automating repetitive inventory checks, warehouses reduce manual labor in hazardous environments. This improves worker safety while maintaining operational efficiency.
Keeping Workers Safe and Cutting Costs
Cold storage warehouses often expose workers to extreme temperatures, which can lead to fatigue, health risks, and operational slowdowns. By shifting inventory management to autonomous drones, companies can:
* Minimize human exposure to freezing conditions
* Lower labor costs
* Improve accuracy in stock tracking
* Maintain continuous monitoring without shutdowns
Already deployed in active warehouses, the system demonstrates how robotics is reshaping industrial logistics. As automation expands into specialized environments, Corvus Robotics drones highlight the future of cold chain management where safety, efficiency, and precision operate around the clock.
