Order picking with a Smart Glass ? To most fresh green goods wholesalers it may still sound a act futurist , but as far as Hermen Mensink of Care4it is concerned , that will shortly change . He was inspire by an representative at a flower wholesaler and has now introduced it to wise green groceries jobber . " The big advantage is that the order selector has both hands free and can thus move quickly and easily through the storage warehouse to peck his orders , " he say .
" Some rescript picker now work with digital scanner , but we often get word from customers that it is not always commodious to have such a thing on your hand . There are also couplers with earpieces that transmit orders , but often , at the closing of the sidereal day , order pickers are excited from rescript being beeped in their ear all mean solar day . When I discover about the successful experiences of the flower wholesaler of Smart Glass , I was right away excited . That ’s how we started talk to the developers at Augmex . "
ab initio , Hermen set out with Google ’s Smart Glasses , but they have since stopped development for the second prison term . Another provider , Vuzix , did see the electric potential in the Smart Glass , and Care4it has since link up the Smart Glass to its own logistics packet Care4Fresh . " Order picker wear a hairband with a power coin bank and see in the projection screen in the drinking glass which orders they need to peck , " say Vuzix . The Smart Glass is also available in glasses shape , where it can also be worn over existing glasses . "
Vuzix ’s Smart Glass works with a very small scanner , somewhat larger than a signet ring , which is tire out around the middle digit . This is connected to the Smart Glass . On the screen , the order pickers see in which itinerary and on which rack the orders should be break up in the warehouse , possibly with a picture of the products attach . " Not all unused produce have barcodes , but this can be promptly remedied by vex a barcode on the point on the racks . Packaged product can , of row , be read immediately , " Hermen says .
While looking for an interested pilot customer , Care4it ended up with Horeca wholesaler Waddinxveen , which supplies a internal tapas range of mountains with all its intellectual nourishment and non - food demand , among other things . The pilot has now been successfully completed . " The order pickers who occupy part in the cowcatcher take the air through the construction with a big smile . They had to get used to it , because previously they still worked with paper , so that was a really big transition , but now that they are used to it , they love it . "
According to Hermen , Smart Glass is unique on the securities industry . " In other sectors such as installation technology and healthcare , you see this technology more often . For them , for instance , it is idealistic to see on the screen how to replace parts or execute an operation . In warehouses , however , this technology has not yet submit off . Even in the unused green goods sphere , I still notice some insensate feet , but I conceive it will really add value for the ordering pickers in the storage warehouse . Perhaps the biggest vantage is that they will have their hands free . "
