Credits Continuous Innovation of
Technologies Centered Around Workers
WEXFORD, Pa., May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Warehouse workers
made 100 billion warehouse picks using Lucas Systems software,
according to an announcement today from Lucas Systems, a
distribution center technology company.
Lucas Systems, which provides software to workers in more than
400 warehouses across four continents, says the 100-billion
milestone is a culmination of industry longevity combined with tens
of thousands of workers using its sophisticated speech-recognition
and optimization software, powered by Jennifer™.
Jennifer™ provides in-the-moment voice and visual
guidance for warehouse tasks such as picking,
replenishment, putaway, loading, and cycle count.
"Workers make nearly 17 million picks each day with Lucas
technologies," says Lucas Systems Founder and CEO Rick Brown. "For 26 years, we've been helping to
improve the quality of work-life for warehouse workers while
dramatically boosting productivity, accuracy, and safety."
Warehouse workers value technology so much that they are willing
to make important trade-offs to access it. According to a recent
market study commissioned by Lucas Systems, which polled 500 U.S.
on-floor warehouse workers, nearly three out of four on-floor
workers would consider a pay cut at another company for an
opportunity to use technology if it helps them in their job.
Lucas Systems says its technologies gain favor for key
reasons:
- No voice training required with industrial grade dual
engine speech recognition
- Flexibility for workers to work in their own language
with more than 30 languages available
- Multimodal worker interaction using voice, visual and
scanning options
- Built-in optimization that can reduce worker travel by
up to 50% while improving picking accuracy
- Software that runs on a wide variety of Android devices
including tablets, wearable devices and mobile computers
Reaching 100 billion picks required adaptability, says Lucas
executives.
"Innovation has been key to our longevity and growth," Brown
says. "We have been at the forefront of leading change in the
distribution industry, which is now occurring at an accelerated
rate."
Notable market shifts have significantly raised the bar for
technology companies. These changes include growth in
direct-to-consumer volume and high expectations for near perfect
accuracy and shorter order-to-delivery times.
Henry Schein, a leading global provider of health care
solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, and a
long-standing customer of Lucas Systems, has benefitted from Lucas'
commitment to continuous innovation.
"In pursuit of consistently fulfilling our customer commitment,
we forged a partnership with Lucas Systems in 2006," said
Ed Igrisan, Vice President, U.S. Distribution West, South, and
Canada, Henry Schein. "Since implementing Lucas Systems'
voice and AI optimization technologies, Henry Schein has
achieved significant growth, exceeding $12
billion in revenue. This strategic partnership has helped to
transform our distribution centers, driving substantial
improvements in worker productivity, operational agility, and
overall satisfaction for both our Team Schein Members and
customers."
