GNC's AI Drones Cut Inventory Mistakes by Catching What Workers Miss
GNC's warehouse in Whitestown, Indiana is using Corvus Robotics drones for inventory management, significantly reducing backorders and improving accuracy. The drones count and track full boxes of products across more than 2,000 pallets in the warehouse's aisles.
