Here are a few charts that speak for themselves:

• The group of new pickers with no previous picking experience were split in two, half equipped with Spotlight, and without.

• 3 months later, they all improved their picking speed month-to-month as expected, but the pickers equipped with Spotlight are consistently 20% to 30% faster than their colleagues. 

• The worst picker without a Spotlight was then equipped with a Spotlight, and the following month she was far better than all her colleagues without Spotlights: 37% improvement in picking speed.

This 3-month long trial was performed on traditional Dutch shelves, with picking carts that are pushed around manually. The size of mushrooms picked by Wauwiler is generally 40-55mm, and the MycoSense Thinning algorithm was used throughout the trial.

The result is that Wauwiler Champignons has ordered Spotlights for all their pickers.
