Vecna Robotics Unveils CaseFlow: The Robotic Case Picking Solution Beating Manual Labor by 2X

As featured on the Robot vs. Wild podcast, Vecna Robotics has introduced CaseFlow, a transformative robotic case picking solution that redefines warehouse operations by seamlessly pairing human pickers with autonomous pallet jack robots. The result is a dramatic leap in productivity, efficiency, and scalability for modern distribution centers.

Announced by Chief Marketing Officer Josh Kivenko, CaseFlow directly tackles one of the industry’s most persistent inefficiencies: manual case picking, still relied upon in 90% of warehouses. Powered by intelligent orchestration software, CaseFlow enables robots to handle up to 90% of travel, freeing human workers to focus solely on high-value picking tasks.

In early deployments, such as with logistics leader GEODIS, the system has delivered a 117% increase in units picked per hour, with zero worker turnover. The solution enhances both throughput and worker satisfaction through intuitive workflows and robotic case picking automation.

CaseFlow integrates effortlessly with existing operations and requires no major infrastructure changes. Delivered via a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, it offers rapid deployment, low upfront costs, and dynamic scalability to match seasonal demand.
