Vecna Robotics announced CaseFlow Voice, what is said to be the only case picking automation solution with fully integrated voice technology for cold storage and other demanding warehouse environments.
CaseFlow Voice embeds Lucas Systems’ Jennifer voice capabilities directly into case picking workflows, enabling hands-free operations.
“CaseFlow has proven it can dramatically improve case picking throughput,” says Karl Iagnemma, CEO of Vecna Robotics. “The solution has already helped warehouses cut training time by up to 50% and move significantly more volume with fewer pickers dedicated to travel-heavy workflows. With CaseFlow Voice, we’re extending those gains into environments like cold storage, where automation has historically struggled.”
Key takeaways:
· CaseFlow Voice addresses a critical challenge in operations like cold storage, where gloves, condensation, and limited dexterity make screens and scanners difficult to use.
· CaseFlow orchestrates pallet handling robots (Vecna CPJ Co-bot Pallet Jack) and human workers in real time, balancing robot availability, worker location, and order priorities to streamline case picking operations.
· With Jennifer offering voice options in 37 languages, the solution also helps operators support a diverse workforce by enabling workers to interact with the system in their native language.
“For more than 28 years, Lucas Systems has been investing in the use of speech recognition and optimization technologies including AI to dramatically improve warehouse performance. In fact, Lucas Systems’ Jennifer has powered more than 112 billion picks across 4 continents,” says Lucas Systems’ chief growth officer, Chris Simchick. “Our human centric approach to applying warehouse automation has a strong role in warehouses today and in the future by enabling robots and humans to seamlessly collaborate in new and efficient ways.”
