As the authorized Corvus Robotics integrator for Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, Actel Robotics handles more Corvus One pricing questions than any other topic. Here is a transparent breakdown of how Corvus One is priced and what to budget for a deployment.
What the Subscription Includes
Corvus One is subscription-only (no purchase option). The monthly fee covers everything: drone hardware, Corvus Cradle charging stations, AIMS software, WMS integration, all maintenance, battery replacement, firmware updates, and customer success support. Hardware generation upgrades are included — no new CapEx when Corvus releases new versions.
Subscription Pricing by Facility Size
- Small (under 100K sq ft / 10K positions): ~$2,000–$3,500/month
- Mid-size (100K–300K sq ft / 10K–30K positions): ~$3,500–$7,000/month
- Large (300K+ sq ft): Custom pricing
- Cold Chain / Frozen: ~20–30% premium
Implementation and One-Time Costs
Actel Robotics implementation fees (site survey, Cradle installation, WMS integration, training, 30-day support) typically run $8,000–$18,000 one-time. Power drops and ethernet runs for Cradle locations are a facilities cost — typically $2,000–$8,000 depending on number of cradles.
Total First-Year Example (180K sq ft Houston DC)
- Monthly subscription: ~$5,500 × 12 = $66,000
- Implementation (one-time): $12,000
- Infrastructure (one-time): $5,000
- Year 1 total: ~$83,000 vs. $280K–$360K manual inventory cost
