Vecna said that CaseFlow™ Voice is the only case picking automation offering with fully integrated voice technology.
Ahead of MODEX 2026, Vecna Robotics, announced CaseFlow Voice, which the company said represents the only case picking automation offering with fully integrated voice technology.
The company said that CaseFlow Voice embeds Lucas Systems’ Jennifer voice capabilities directly into case picking workflows, enabling hands-free operations that improve worker productivity and accuracy, while helping warehouses achieve up to 2x throughput improvements.
CaseFlow Voice, along with more CaseFlow technology, will be on display at Vecna’s MODEX booth.
Vecna Robotics said that CaseFlow Voice addresses a critical challenge in operations like cold storage, where gloves, condensation and limited dexterity make screens and scanners difficult to use. By supporting both voice and handheld interfaces, the company said that CaseFlow adapts to a wider range of warehouse conditions while maintaining ease of use and performance.
“CaseFlow has proven it can dramatically improve case picking throughput,” said Karl Iagnemma, CEO of Vecna Robotics. “The solution has already helped warehouses cut training time by up to 50% and move significantly more volume with fewer pickers dedicated to travel-heavy workflows. With CaseFlow Voice, we’re extending those gains into environments like cold storage, where automation has historically struggled.”
CaseFlow orchestrates pallet-handling robots (Vecna CPJ Co-bot Pallet Jack) and human workers in real time, dynamically balancing robot availability, worker location, and order priorities to streamline case picking operations. Vecna said that workers remain focused on picking within smaller, dynamic zones while autonomous robots handle pallet transport and reduce non-value-added travel.
With the addition of voice technology, the company said that workers receive instructions and confirm tasks through simple voice commands, reducing reliance on handheld devices while preserving the flexibility of existing operations. Hands-free picking helps improve safety by allowing workers to stay focused on the task, while voice-guided workflows accelerate onboarding and reduce training time for new employees.
Powered by Lucas Systems, a distribution center technology provider supporting workers in more than 400 warehouses worldwide, CaseFlow Voice integrates Jennifer voice direction directly into these workflows.
With Jennifer offering voice options in 37 languages, Vecna said that the system also helps operators support a diverse workforce by enabling workers to interact with the system in their native language.
“For more than 28 years, Lucas Systems has been investing in the use of speech recognition and optimization technologies, including AI, to dramatically improve warehouse performance,” said Chris Simchick, chief growth officer at Lucas Systems. “In fact, Lucas Systems’ Jennifer has powered more than 112 billion picks across 4 continents. Our human-centric approach to applying warehouse automation has a strong role in warehouses today and in the future by enabling robots and humans to seamlessly collaborate in new and efficient ways.”
