What Cornerstone Automation Systems does

Cornerstone Automation Systems (CASI), operating as Cornerstone Automation Systems, LLC, is a privately held designer and manufacturer of intelligent turnkey warehouse automation solutions headquartered in a 170,000-square-foot facility at 10601 Clarence Drive, Suite 100, Frisco, Texas. The company targets the "First 100 feet" (receiving/inbound) and "Last 100 feet" (shipping/outbound) of warehouse operations, with primary customers in retail, e-commerce fulfillment, and third-party logistics (3PL), and secondary exposure to central and hospital pharmacy operations. CASI is affiliated with Lozier, the retail fixture and store-planning company, functioning as its automation division.

The core product portfolio includes the patented CASi-IBOD intelligent box-opening device, three conveyor families (CASi-PowerFlex, CASi-MDR, CASi-Curve), CASi-AutoDecant box processing, three sortation systems (CASi-SORT, CASi-FlashSort, CASi-MAXsort), the CASi-SmartBox right-sizing packaging system, and the CASi-SLAM automated shipping solution with a CASi-ShipfromStore variant. Add-on modules include in-motion scales, dimensioners, scan tunnels, lid removers, box flippers, and printer/applicators. The technical stack centers on 24-volt brushless DC motor-driven conveyors, real-time scanning and dimensioning, contour-cutting robotic tools with automated tool changers, computer vision for box detection, and collaborative robotics (ONExia PalletizHD powered by Doosan) for autonomous depalletizing integrated at MODEX 2026. Data outputs flow to customer warehouse management systems (WMS).

CASI operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales with consultative application engineering, an authorized sales partner network, and system integrator collaborations serving customers globally. Revenue is generated through hardware and system sales (proprietary automation equipment designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested in-house), professional services spanning installation, integration, and post-installation customer care, and customer financing and leasing facilitated through a partnership with Mitsubishi HC Capital. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company does not report external funding rounds, suggesting either internal cash generation or parent-level sponsorship.
