Mounting a vacuum lift device on Max to assist picking of heavy cases

Similar to the first picture or the youtube video, we could possibly mount the vacuum lift mechanism on our Max.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Introducing Locus in any facility means reducing the picker headcount. Since volume remains constant, it would mean each picker would be picking more of the heavy full cases which will lead to fatigue, injuries and high turnover.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

Any prospect operation where the cases are heavy (ex. beverages, industrial parts etc.) will benefit if a Max is replacing their current walkie riders

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Picker fatigue, injuries due to repeated lifting of heavy full cases
