Warehouse Productivity Profiled in Forbes by Carsten Funk of Picavi

Warehouse Productivity Profiled in Forbes by Carsten Funk of Picavi

Carsten Funke, CEO at Picavi USA, the leader in pick-by-vision technology, recently discussed the need for better warehouse productivity and throughput. Read the Forbes article here.

According to Funke, supply chain bottlenecks are a real issue and unlikely to evaporate any time soon especially as new variants surface causing further disruptions. Those stubborn situations cannot be easily resolved but the ability to focus on efficiencies within the four walls of a warehouse or distribution center can produce better productivity and throughput which in turn improves, even perhaps overcomes, some of the supply chain issues.

“The real opportunity as the global supply chain remains in a state of flux is to ensure that the DC operational processes attract and retain employees, produce better picking accuracy, productivity, and throughput,” noted Funke.

Funke is a proud member of the Forbes Business Council, an invitation-only organization for successful business leaders and executives who are selected for the council based on the depth and diversity of experience in the business development space.

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. 

About Picavi USA

Picavi USA Pick-by-Vision solution makes it possible to visually manage the picking process for goods in intralogistics in a consistent manner. Picavi’s Cockpit uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and digital twin technology as a breakthrough innovation, maximizing productivity at warehouses and minimizing error rates. Only with this Smart Data technology are e-fulfillment solutions possible, transcending the initial value proposition of Google Glasses.

When wearing the smart glasses, warehouse workers have both hands free for primary tasks, including picking and packing goods. Augmented reality (AR) with context-based information makes work much more precise, predictable, and fun. Google Glasses have become an indispensable part of warehouse life.
