Carsten Funke of Picavi Talks Future of Supply Chain in Food Logistics Magazine

Picavi, the leader in Pick-by-Vision technology, was recently profiled in Food Logistics magazine discussing the future of the supply chain.

According to Marina Mayer, Editor of Food Logistics, “Digitalizing the supply chain is the future. But, getting there takes automation and emerging technology. It requires investing in solutions designed to track and trace, produce data analytics, and deliver real-time alerts when parts of the supply chain fall off track. It requires buy-in from all decision-makers to help build the supply chain of tomorrow. Plus, working in a freezer continues to be one of the more difficult jobs in the supply chain industry.”

Carsten Funke, CEO of Picavi USA shared, “Coupling that with how hard it is to find and retain labor in this market climate, and the challenges for cold food chains come into sharp focus. So, if you can employ tools that assist the worker, bringing greater job satisfaction while also getting more efficiency out of the people you have, this is a win-win for the company. Plus, the ease and ergonomics of the solution increases job satisfaction from both the physical and actual aspects of the work, leading to employee retention in addition to these gains in productivity,”

Picavi’s Pick-by-Vision is an assisted reality vision solutions that helps workers optimize their performance and add 10-30% productivity per worker.

Current vs. Future State of Warehouse Picking

Whether warehouse or distribution center, the current state of picking remains problematic. These challenges grow more serious as picking migrates to e-retail fulfillment. The metrics and justification of Google Glasses, as a picking methodology, must include a constant, iterative, and continuous process improvement system. This requirement defines the future state of warehouse picking; only Picavi is ready to meet the future state today.
