Augmented Vision for Picking, Carts, Replenishment & Put Wall Applications

Augmented Feature

Augmented vision order picking is the next generation of wearable technology poised to disrupt the order fulfillment industry by optimizing the order picking process. Augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence, and computer vision are integrated into a single device to provide visual instructions to the worker, enhancing productivity and reducing errors. It is also sometimes referred to as augmented vision order picking.

In augmented vision order picking, the worker wears AR glasses. Through these glasses, they see a virtual pick-to-light system overlaid on real-world pick locations or pick slots. Visual and audio cues guide the worker to locate, retrieve, scan, and fulfill each order accurately, every single time. Constant barcode scanning with computer vision, and interpretation of context through AI, deliver optimized steps and workflows to efficiently complete tasks.
