SwiftDecoder software enhances autonomous drones for faster, more accurate warehouse inventory tracking
Honeywell has integrated its SwiftDecoder barcode-decoding software into Corvus Robotics’ autonomous inventory drones, marking a major advancement in warehouse automation. The AI-driven solution enables faster, more precise inventory tracking for retailers, distributors, and manufacturers, reducing reliance on human labor.
“Automation is the future of warehousing,” said David Barker, President of Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. “With AI-powered drones, businesses can improve accuracy, cut costs, and optimize labor resources—ensuring they stay ahead in an increasingly complex supply chain.”
The Corvus One™ Autonomous Inventory Management System, powered by SwiftDecoder, can fly through vast warehouses to conduct inventory audits faster than humans. Equipped with computer vision, the drones navigate without GPS, Wi-Fi, or human operators, making them ideal for low-light, high-shelf, and hard-to-reach areas.
“We chose Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software for its unmatched efficiency in dynamic warehouse environments,” said Jackie Wu, CEO of Corvus Robotics. “With our AI case-counting technology, these drones can scan multiple cases simultaneously, providing real-time insights and transforming inventory management.”
SwiftDecoder’s batch scanning capability allows drones to capture multiple barcodes at once, enabling rapid inventory audits. Combined with Corvus One’s advanced sensors and cameras, businesses gain instant visibility into stock levels, reducing errors, labor costs, and supply chain disruptions.
As automation reshapes the supply chain, Honeywell and Corvus Robotics are leading the charge toward smarter, more efficient warehouses.
