ATLANTA – At MODEX 2026, autonomous inventory management system provider Corvus Robotics announced Corvus Trident.
The company said that Trident is an AI-powered device that gives warehouses a continuous record of every pallet movement from inbound receipt through putaway, replenishment, picking and outbound shipment.
Corvus Trident mounts directly to forklifts, reach trucks and other material handling equipment (MHE), which Corvus Robotics said captures pallet movement automatically during normal operations.
Corvus Robotics said that Trident is designed to close the data gap in inventory scanning. Using onboard AI and industrial-grade scanning, Corvus Trident reads multiple barcodes simultaneously, tracks pallet and equipment movement in real-time and creates a continuous record of inventory movement without requiring operators to stop and manually scan.
“Most facilities still rely on fragmented scan events to understand the movement of physical goods,” said Jackie Wu, CEO of Corvus Robotics. “That leaves major gaps between what the system says should have happened and what actually did. Corvus Trident gives operators and supply chain leaders a real-time view of pallet movement across the facility, starting at the dock door. It improves execution on the floor today and creates the foundation for a smarter, more responsive warehouse over time.”
MSI Surfaces, a nationwide distributor of flooring, countertop, wall tile and hardscaping products, recently deployed Corvus Trident at its Orange, Calif. headquarters.
“After leveraging Corvus’ drone technology over the last four years to improve rack inventory accuracy, we are excited to take the next step toward tighter inventory controls with Corvus Trident,” said Matt Zucker, team leader, operations strategy & analytics, MSI. “Corvus has been an excellent partner in understanding our inventory management challenges and designing technology that is expected to deliver data points and analysis with a level of consistency that traditional manual scanning processes and legacy systems struggle to achieve.”
With Corvus Trident, the company said that warehouses can begin tracking pallets the moment they are unloaded and continue tracking them through the full flow of operations until they leave the facility. Corvus Robotics added that this visibility creates a stronger system of record for receiving, movement, storage and shipment, while giving teams the data they need to act earlier and operate with greater confidence.
Corvus Trident is mounted to existing material handling equipment and captures data during normal warehouse workflows. The company said that it reads pallets up to three stacks high, tracks movement without GPS, beacons or markers, and provides real-time visual and audio feedback to operators to support safer and more accurate handling.
Corvus Robotics said that Trident helps warehouse and supply chain teams reduce chargebacks, returns, and shipment errors, improve labor planning, productivity, and visibility, strengthen traceability, and create a reliable record for audits, disputes, and operational review. The system works with existing warehouse management systems through standard APIs, or it can operate independently, giving customers flexibility in how they deploy it.
The company said that Corvus Trident expands its broader approach to inventory visibility across the warehouse.
Corvus Trident captures inventory movement from the moment pallets enter the facility and throughout active handling across docks and operations. Corvus One, Corvus Robotics’ autonomous drone inventory system, performs autonomous cycle counts across storage locations, giving teams accurate, audit-ready visibility into inventory at rest.
Together, the company said that Corvus Trident and Corvus One provide full facility coverage and a more complete view of inventory across both movement and storage. Both systems feed AIMS, the Corvus Robotics software platform that turns facility data into actionable operational insight for labor planning, slot optimization, vendor accountability, service level performance and broader supply chain decision making.
