Lunch Lecture: Picnic

We are welcoming back a familiar face at Inter-Actief: Lindsay Kempen (board 39, active member, and former symposia host). She is returning to her home grounds to reveal the engineering powering the tech-first supermarket Picnic.

As a senior Software Developer, Lindsay specializes in orchestrating high-throughput processes within Picnic’s massive automated warehouses. In this role, abstract code meets physical reality, directly controlling kilometers of conveyors to ensure your groceries move seamlessly from A to B — which eventually end up at your doorstep.

Lunch Lectures case: How do you optimize plans to protect bread and eggs in a complex automated environment? Join us and see for yourself, can you solve the puzzle?
