Vecna Robotics introduces CaseFlow, an end-to-end solution for case picking that uses pallet-handling robots for up to 90% of warehouse travel and orchestrates workers with dynamic, directed zone picking, more than doubling site performance while improving worker satisfaction and safety.
“Warehouses and distribution center operators have struggled to automate this cri tical workflow because solutions like conveyors and automated storage and retrieval systems are either too expensive, disruptive or inflexible,” says Michael Helmbrecht, COO and SVP of Product at Vecna Robotics. “In the case of semi-autonomous robots and sled AMRs, operators have historically realized limited throughput gains because these solutions don’t orchestrate the entire workflow. That all changes with CaseFlow.”
Key Takeaways:
- CaseFlow redefines case picking for mid-to high-volume warehouse operators in retail, 3PL distribution, consumer packaged goods and more. The solution orchestrates a fleet of Vecna Robotics CPJ pallet jack robots that perform all of the pallet-based travel in the warehouse and directs human pickers, equipped with connected wearables, with tasks generated from the site's existing Warehouse Management System (WMS).
- Powered by Vecna’s Pivotal orchestratin software, CaseFlow continuously prioritizes orders and optimizes robot routes and picking tasks. Using fewer workers than traditional manual operations, CaseFlow dynamically adjusts worker picking zones to keep goods flowing and maximize units picked per hour (UPH).
