VCO Systems has launched LumiRover, an AMR-enabled pick-to-light cart designed for high-throughput fulfillment operations. It’s designed to advance autonomous zone picking through the combination of light-directed picking and AMR-enabled zone orchestration.

LumiRover enables a zone-based picking model in which pickers remain stationed in their assigned zones while AMR-driven, pick-light-enabled carts move autonomously between locations. Using pre-mapped warehouse coordinates, each cart navigates precisely through picking stops, reducing unnecessary worker travel, shortening pick cycle times, and improving operational flow. It’s designed for retail fulfillment, e-commerce distribution, and third-party logistics environments,

Its AMR-agnostic architecture is powered by VCO’s technology platform. 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, carts can be operated independently of the AMR when needed, enabling hybrid workflows based on order profiles or operational constraints.

Its larger cart form factor supports multiple totes and more order locations per run, increasing picks per hour and enabling 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 target throughput.
