The most effective third-party logistics (3PL) providers are constantly seeking new ways to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and maintain high levels of accuracy. Staci Americas has taken a major step forward by integrating the Corvus One system from Corvus Robotics into our fulfillment operations. This drone automation system has revolutionized the way we manage inventory, boost productivity and ensure precision in every cycle count.
The Corvus One System: A Fulfillment Game Changer
The Corvus One system is an advanced drone solution designed to run autonomously with lights-out capability. This cutting-edge feature allows the drones to operate 24/7, even in dark warehouse environments, without the need for operator assistance. By leveraging this powerful tool, Staci Americas has enhanced its fulfillment processes in several key areas, with significant improvements already visible since its implementation.
Faster, More Accurate Inventory Management
Traditionally, cycle counting and inventory checks are time-consuming processes that can cause disruptions in daily operations. With the Corvus One system, drones are deployed quickly, needing only a landing pad to operate. These drones can fly through our warehouses without human intervention, conducting inventory checks at speeds that are 10 times faster than manual methods. This increase in speed is complemented by an impressive 99.9% accuracy rate—a level of precision that significantly reduces the risk of errors in inventory management.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Staci Americas and see the impact our drones have had on their inventory operations,” said Jackie Wu, CEO of Corvus Robotics. “By automating cycle counts at night off-shift and pre-shift, Staci has reduced unnecessary costs and improved order accuracy, fulfillment speed, and space utilization. With their associates no longer having to search for missing product or empty locations, it’s been great to see how this technology has freed up their team for more strategic, value-added tasks.”
Real-Time Data and Operational Efficiency
One of the most powerful features of the Corvus One system is its ability to share inventory data in real time. As the drones conduct their cycle counts, they immediately send the data to our management systems, enabling us to identify inconsistencies, make corrections and update inventory levels instantly. This real-time visibility not only improves our overall inventory accuracy but also helps us prevent fulfillment delays and production impacts.
“The lights-out capability in the Corvus One system allows our inventory teams to correct discrepancies off-shift and pre-shift before production starts each day, limiting fulfillment delays and production impacts,” said Austin Feagins, Senior Director of Customer Solutions at Staci Americas.
Cost Savings and Reduced Training Times
Integrating drone automation into our operations has allowed Staci Americas to lower costs in several ways. The drones require minimal training for our staff to operate, and their autonomous nature means less time spent on manual labor and inventory oversight. By reducing the need for extensive employee involvement in inventory checks, we have been able to reallocate resources to other critical areas, driving further improvements in our overall productivity.
The Impact of Drone Automation at Staci Americas
Since implementing the Corvus One system, Staci Americas has seen measurable benefits across our fulfillment operations. The ability to perform around-the-clock inventory checks has allowed us to stay ahead of potential stock issues, ensuring that we always have accurate data at our fingertips. With the boost in productivity and accuracy, our operations have become more streamlined, helping us deliver faster, more reliable services to our clients.
Looking Ahead
At Staci Americas, we are committed to staying at the forefront of logistics technology. The integration of drone automation through the Corvus One system is just one example of how we continuously innovate to enhance our fulfillment capabilities. As we look ahead, we will continue to explore and implement solutions that provide value to our clients and set new standards in operational excellence.
