On this episode, host Chad Warzecha is joined by Dr. Jack Peck, President and CEO at FastFetch Corporation — a company that provides a revolutionary, multimodal order-fulfillment system combining light-directed, voice and wireless barcode scanning technologies.

Jack earned his doctorate from the University of Louisiana, went on to become a professor at Clemson, then retired and started his own business based on patents he received on ways to improve order fulfillment.

The conversation covers the many new technologies available for order picking and processing. Jack talks us through the good, the bad and the ugly of each process.

He addresses the problems some companies run into with voice-picking applications, and gives alternative solutions to people experiencing those problems. He takes a deep dive into pick-to-light and goes through some potential pitfalls companies might encounter with that technology.

The discussion turns to AMRs, which are getting a lot of hype these days, and Jack gives some tips on efficiently using that technology. He wraps up by talking about the technology he sees coming to order fulfillment in the future.
