Adding Eyes to Picnic’s Automated Warehouses Part 2

Is it possible to teach AI to count a million groceries a day?

Our fulfillment center in Utrecht is a busy place, thousands of totes move every day carrying everything from apples to shampoo bottles. Keeping stock 99% accurate is key, but not easy.

In our latest blog, we share how we use cameras and multimodal LLMs to make stock counting smarter.

Here’s what we cover:
 📸 Capturing nearly a million images a day (and how we fixed blurry, dark shots)
 🧠 Why we bet on multimodal LLMs over classic computer vision
 ⚙️ How fine-tuning boosted performance while cutting costs
 📊 The metrics and lessons that keep our system improving
