Voodoo Robotics has improved its communications technology, enabling its Cloud Display Devices to light up 5-10 times faster. The new Turbo II is in stock and available for new and existing implementations. Because of the positive response to its upgrade promotion, Voodoo Robotics has decided to reactivate it through June 15, 2023.   With its Cloud Display Devices, Voodoo Robotics provides a wireless pick and put to light solution that leverages the Internet of Things to improve picking speed and accuracy. The Turbo communicates encrypted picking information bidirectionally between the Cloud Display Devices and the Voodoo Robotics server to direct instructions from the warehouse Inventory Management System to the pickers on the floor. Voodoo Robotics Turbos use the customer’s ethernet or WIFI connection to communicate with the Voodoo Robotics multitenant server on the Amazon Web Services Cloud or a customer-specific server installation that resides either on the customer’s network or cloud.   In-house testing of the Turbo II hardware at Voodoo Robotics lights up Cloud Display devices 5-10 times faster than the Turbo Classic and Turbo Power over Ethernet Touchscreen (PoE-T) models. Actual results will vary for specific installations, but this improvement will increase speed significantly in existing implementations and make the Voodoo Robotics solution ideal for higher velocity picking and kitting scenarios.   The Turbo IIs are in stock and ready to ship. The following offers apply until June 15, 2023:   • Customers who purchase Turbo IIs can obtain either Turbo at the 2022 prices. • Customers (new or existing) who purchase a minimum of 25 Cloud Display Devices may also receive a free upgrade to Turbo II. • Existing customers who are under warranty or who activate a service contract may upgrade their Turbos free of charge.   Please contact Voodoo Robotics to discuss the new product and how to upgrade existing Turbos.   About Voodoo Robotics Voodoo Robotics is a leading innovator in warehouse picking automation, based in Frisco, Texas.

Voodoo Robotics today announced the immediate availability of a new multi-button Cloud Display Device. Introduced this morning at ProMat in the SVT Robotics Booth N7148, the new multi-button device has the same functions as the single-button device, but adds two quantity adjustment buttons on top. This often requested feature allows workers to dynamically alter the quantity handled during pick operations.  Trevor Blumenau, CEO of Voodoo Robotics, said, “In many cases, pickers are instructed to pick more items than are available in a slot. Without interrupting their flow of activity, they can pick the quantity available and report the shortfall.”   When integrated with a Warehouse Management System (WMS), workers can dynamically modify picking or processing instructions to potentially trigger instructions from the Warehouse Management System (WMS) for slot replenishment, pick substitutions, or overflow inventory picks. This helps to maintain data integrity as well as picking speed and accuracy.   The new feature represents a significant improvement in Voodoo Robotics’ Pick-to-light offering. Blumenau said, “Outside of defined picks, if warehouse workers notice that the quantity of a product on the shelf is more or less than that defined in the WMS, they can adjust the inventory up or down and confirm the change. In this way we support inventory management by wandering around.”   The Cloud Display Device picking hardware easily integrates with existing WMS or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, allowing distribution centers, warehouses, and 3PLs to scale operations for pick-to-light, put-to-light, pack-to-light, kitting, will-call (customer pickup), quarantine, order sortation (put walls) and other scenarios. A simple URL or REST API call causes the device to light up with up to five lines of custom text, including quantity, barcodes, QR codes, and arrows. The button LED also lights up in any of 6 colors. Static text messages enable customers to display information between picks. Each Cloud Display Device uses two AAA batteries that can last for years.   The product will be on display and available for demonstrations in the SVT Robotics booth N7148 at ProMat, March 20-23, and is available for immediate delivery.   About  Voodoo Robotics is a leading innovator in warehouse picking automation, based in Frisco, Texas.
