Hands-Free Experience for Pickers
With
AR systems, the employee can keep their hands free to select items as the list is displayed in the headsets. In addition, as each item is selected, the technology checks the correct item using optical barcode readers and tells the employee which is the next most logical item to select. As a result, the employee can work efficiently without any hassle, maintaining system accuracy and minimizing movement around the warehouse. Being hands-free increases the safety index and provides real benefits on longer processes.
Employee Training and Monitoring
Augmented reality glasses can be used to conduct virtual introductory and training sessions for new employees. This will help with smooth onboarding and improve collaboration between teams by making them accustomed to company operations. This interactive form of education allows them to practice multiple times without delaying and hampering current active processes. Employees can also be monitored to improve their alertness and avoid any errors in warehouse operations.
Warehouse Planning
For any business to thrive, warehouse operations must be planned to achieve maximum efficiency. With smart glasses and data-driven automation, warehouse managers can now plan and test their protocols. To place it more accurately, product inspection, allocation, assembly, packaging, dispatching, preparing a detailed warehouse strategy, and testing its viability are of high importance to carry out
regular operations. It also offers other value-added services that share insights and monitor all operations, ensuring accurate service delivery.
Industry Examples
Modern companies seek to improve warehouse operations, supply chain, and distribution channels in every possible way to facilitate incentivization and cost optimization. AR technology can solve various problems of logistics and management. Based on historic data, automated systems can signal workers to improvise, improve productivity and reduce errors.
Augmented Reality Warehouse Picking
