Warehouse optimization

Data glasses and Pick-by-Vision help to efficiently optimize your warehouse

Nowadays, optimizing your own warehouse is an important part of commercial and accordingly, also successful entrepreneurial dealings, as it is about two crucial and expensive factors, namely time and space. Storage locations are still expensive goods today. Warehouses that are not properly organized will quickly run out of space and order. In turn, lack of order and long walking routes will drastically increase the need for time for usual storage activities like, for example, order picking and ordering and thus, they will lead to unnecessary expenses.

However, merely good organization is not enough anymore today in order to optimize one’s warehouse in a fast and cost-effective manner – modern auxiliary means can achieve much more here and they can support you purposefully.

Pick-by-Vision in order picking

Order picking, meaning the arrangement of partial quantities out of the entire scope of the warehouse in the context of, for example, orders or internal material requirements, is part of key warehouse activities. As these tasks are usually not carried out in a fully automated manner yet, they will generate staff costs and because of their time-sensitive nature, they will also often be prone to errors, mistakes and quality defects. That’s why technical support for order pickers is nowadays vital when it comes down to how and to what extent order picking processes and thus, warehouses can actually be optimized.

Aside from the classical order picking methods, namely Pick-by-Paper, Pick-by-Scan, Pick-by-Voice and Pick-by-Light, especially Pick-by-Vision is considered a future-oriented new hope as it combines the advantages of some of the other methods and avoids some of their disadvantages at the same time. Pick-by-Vision supports order picking processes with the aid of data glasses. Depending on their respective application purposes, such data glasses as are also known from home environments get equipped with suitable sensors, like, e.g., barcode scanners, voice recognition devices, etc., and connected to existing systems through individualized software. Thus, order pickers receive extensive information on their work, such as on built-in route plans, automated removals from stock and re-orders or they will be helped through automated documentation functions. Almost all parts of order picking processes can be optimized with the aid of data glasses and suitable software. Aside from visibly enhanced efficiency (picking speed), improved quality management (less picking errors and consequently, enhanced customer satisfaction) also needs to be emphasized especially here.
