Warehouse Robots At Your Service

with SAFELOG’s agent-based control software, which does not require a central control station. The robots communicate in a swarm, distribute tasks independently, and the eet remains functional even if individual vehicles fail. This architecture enables easy scaling without complex infrastructure measures. At the same time, the vehicles support the VDA-5050 standard and can also be integrated into mixed eets. For fulllment operators, this means shorter throughput times, less manual transport, greater process reliability, and the ability to respond exibly to seasonal peaks. The robots can be integrated into existing layouts without the need for structural modications.

Completing Autonomous Cycle Counts in Freezing Temperatures Corvus Robotics launched dedicated cold chain drones for autonomous inventory checks in sub-zero warehouses. Corvus One for Cold Chain can operate continuously in freezer environments ranging from minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit to ambient temperatures. Designed to withstand extreme cold, airflow, frost, and condensation, the system delivers inventory cycle counts without human intervention, enabling operators to maintain real-time visibility while keeping labor and equipment out of harsh freezer conditions. Corvus One uses industrial-

grade barcode scanners with adaptive focus and exposure control, combined with stabilized flight, to read frosted or low-contrast labels from multiple angles in freezer environments. Kroger, a national grocer, is using Corvus One for Cold Chain in live freezer operations, where the system is delivering inventory visibility and reducing reliance on manual cycle counts.
