A Corvus One autonomous inventory drone performs a cycle counting mission at Dermalogica’s primary distribution center in Carson, Calif.

Corvus Robotics, a provider of autonomous inventory management systems, announced the successful deployment of its Corvus One autonomous inventory management system at Dermalogica’s global headquarters and primary distribution center in Carson, Calif.

Corvus said that the facility manufactures and distributes professional-grade skincare products to retail, wholesale and e-commerce channels worldwide.

Drones scan the warehouse during non-active hours

Operating live inside the Dermalogica warehouse, the company said that its Corvus One drone system performs fully autonomous aerial inventory scans outside of active picking hours. The company said that its Corvus One system images the warehouse 52 times per year, representing a 600 percent increase in inventory imaging frequency compared to prior manual cycle counting processes.

Before deployment, Corvus Robotics said that Demalogica’s inventory counting required a dedicated cycle counter and could take up to two months to complete a full pass through the facility. With Corvus One, Dermalogica has repurposed approximately 120 labor hours per month, reallocating that time to higher-value operational work.

“Deployment was seamless and required no downtime,” said Jason Brown, director of U.S. logistics at Dermalogica. “Corvus Robotics has become a valuable partner in modernizing our inventory management. Corvus One delivers the consistent accuracy we need to protect revenue and operate to tight forecasts. With continuous warehouse visibility, we can sell what we produce with confidence and plan future growth on a stronger operational foundation.”

Corvus Robotics said that Dermalogica builds production to tight sales forecasts with minimal buffer. For high-value products manufactured for global distribution, Corvus said that accurate inventory visibility directly impacts revenue, fulfillment performance and customer experience. The company said that its Corvus One system provides consistent, facility-wide data to support inventory accuracy and occupancy reporting, enabling better space planning and capacity management.

“Retailers and brands operating global distribution networks cannot afford blind spots,” said Jackie Wu, CEO of Corvus Robotics. “Dermalogica’s Carson facility is a high-throughput environment serving customers around the world. Corvus One provides continuous, autonomous inventory intelligence without disrupting operations. This is the standard modern supply chains are moving toward.”

Corvus One operates without human pilots or warehouse infrastructure modifications. The company said that its fully autonomous, aerial system navigates complex indoor environments using onboard AI and computer vision, capturing high-resolution inventory data that integrates into existing warehouse workflows.

At Manifest 2026 in Las Vegas, Corvus Robotics announced Corvus One for Cold Chain, a system that is engineered to operate continuously in freezer environments ranging from minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit to ambient temperatures.
