Blumenau founded Voodoo Robotics to modernize warehouse operations by leveraging modern technologies. Voodoo's Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) includes a web-based, real-time 3D interface and sophisticated modeling built in WDL, a Warehouse Design Language Blumenau invented. For companies not yet ready for full automation, Blumenau designed an innovative wireless Pick-to-Light system based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The Pick-To-Light system is supported by an optional cloud-based inventory management package called SKU-Keeper.

Blumenau stated, "I am honored to be recognized as a Pro to Know by Supply & Demand Chain Executive. As a professional engineer with over 25 years of detailed research with design experience in warehouse/manufacturing processes and innovation, it is a privilege to be recognized as a technology player in the supply chain".

Supply & Demand Chain Executive congratulates the 2018 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know recipients. The Pros to Know is a listing of exceptional corporate executives at manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises who are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies' supply chains for the significant challenges in the year ahead," says John Yuva, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
