Warehouses are the beating heart of global supply chains, yet most still rely on people with barcode scanners trudging up and down aisles. Slow. Inaccurate. Costly.
In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Jackie Wu, CEO and co-founder of Corvus Robotics, to explore how AI-powered autonomous drones are transforming inventory management, and building the next generation of resilient, data-driven supply chains.
Corvus has developed the world’s first fully autonomous warehouse drones, capable of scanning vast facilities, some the size of ten football fields, in hours instead of weeks. These drones deliver real-time visibility, improve inventory accuracy, and eliminate one of the biggest blind spots in global logistics.
We discuss:
🚀 Why inventory accuracy is the foundation of sustainable operations
🌍 How visibility and data intelligence reduce waste and emissions
🤖 The shift from automation to full autonomy in industrial AI
⚙️ What real-world resilience looks like inside the modern warehouse
🔋 And how robotics and sustainability can strengthen the entire physical economy
If you’re in supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, or sustainability leadership, this conversation offers a glimpse into the future of warehouse technology, and how AI can help us build smarter, leaner, more adaptive supply chains.
