Integrated supply chain and warehouse execution technology provider VCO Systems introduced LumiRover at MODEX 2026.

The company said that LumiRover is an AMR-enabled pick-to-light cart designed for high-throughput fulfillment operations.

VCO Systems added that LumiRover marks the beginning of a broader innovation roadmap for the company, advancing autonomous zone picking through the combination of light-directed picking and AMR-enabled zone orchestration.

Redefining zone picking with AMR Agility and cart flexibility

The company said that its integrated approach brings together the accuracy and simplicity of pick-to-light systems with the mobility and intelligence of AMRs, reducing reliance on manual travel, improving pick accuracy and breaking traditional human-to-robot ratios. The company said that this results in higher throughput, greater labor efficiency and measurable cost savings for high-volume operations.

In its initial release, VCO Systems said that LumiRover enables a zone-based picking model where pickers remain stationed in their assigned zones. The AMR-driven, pick-light-enabled carts move autonomously between locations.

Using pre-mapped warehouse coordinates, the company said that each cart navigates precisely through picking stops, reducing unnecessary worker travel, shortening pick cycle times and improving operational flow without the constraints of fixed infrastructure or proprietary systems.

“LumiRover represents a new way to execute autonomous zone picking,” said Vikrant Angia, CEO of VCO Systems. By integrating pick-to-light with AMR orchestration, we are delivering a system that drives higher accuracy, better efficiency, and a step change in throughput. This is what enables our customers to scale without scaling cost.”

VCO Systems said that LumiRover also supports built-in load balancing within the pick-to-light system, distributing pending picks evenly across zones to eliminate idle time and sustain peak throughput. For operations that require additional flexibility, the company said that carts can be operated independently of the AMR when needed, enabling hybrid workflows based on order profiles or operational constraints.

Designed for retail fulfillment, e-commerce distribution, and 3PL environments, VCO Systems said that LumiRover delivers the capacity and throughput required for high-volume operations. Its larger cart form factor supports multiple totes and more order locations per run, which the company said increases picks per hour and enables more picks to be completed in a single pass through the warehouse. This reduces total pick time and can lower the number of robots required to achieve the target throughput.

VCO Systems added that operations can also deploy mixed configurations, combining larger carts for batch or cluster picking with smaller, agile setups for chasing shorts, skips or fulfilling time-sensitive orders. This flexibility allows teams to optimize picking strategies based on order profiles and service level requirements.
