“Our Plainfield, Indiana facility is a useful proof point. Case-picking volume for this facility's pet products client had pushed the team from two shifts to three on manual pallet jacks, quietly eroding margin. Rather than adding a fourth shift, the team partnered with Vecna Robotics to bring autonomous pallet jacks into the picking process itself, letting employees pick while the robot handles navigation and staging.”
