Warehouses built for frozen food aren’t exactly friendly places for people, or robots. Temperatures plunge well below zero, frost builds up on everything, airflow is constant, and visibility can be a mess. Yet these same environments demand some of the most precise inventory tracking in logistics. That’s the problem Corvus Robotics says it has cracked with the launch of Corvus One for Cold Chain, a drone-based inventory system designed to operate autonomously in freezer warehouses as cold as minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit.
