73: The Robotics Retrofit: How Veena Radhakrishna is Automating the Other 80% of Supply Chains
from She Supply Chains · host Supply Chain Experts | Katie Holman & Courtney Andersen
Innovation in supply chain is the core focus of today's conversation. Courtney and Katie sit down with Veena Radhakrishna, the Co-Founder and Head of Software at Cartesian Kinetics, to discuss how her team builds robotics specifically for warehouses. The discussion explores the challenges of automating legacy (brownfield) warehouses, which represent 80% of existing facilities. These sites are often overlooked by the first wave of automation due to high costs, floor prep requirements, and potential downtime. Veena explains how her team’s modular approach allows for rapid, non-disruptive installation in just 8 to 10 weeks—a timeline virtually unheard of in the industry. ✨ Connect with Venna! 📱LinkedIn | Veena 📱Cartesian Kinetics Inc 💻Learn more on the topics discussed here: Why We Invested in Cartesian Kinetics? — Kae Capital Automating Brownfield Warehouses With Cartesian Kinetics 💵 Arise Financial Check out Arise Financial Coaching and their Financial Goal Accelerator program, and let them know She Supply Chains sent you! ✨ Connect with us! 📱LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-supply-chains/ 📱INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/shesupplychainspodcast/ 📱TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@shesupplychainspodcast 🎧 Call to Action Follow She Supply Chains on your favorite podcast app Leave us a review — it helps more listeners find the show Share this episode with someone you think would love it
