Wearables Technology: Smart glassesSmart glasses are wearable computers with optical head mounted display (OHMD) or computerised internet-connected glasses with transparent heads-up display (HUD) or augmented reality (AR) overlay that has capability of reflecting projected digital images as well as allowing the user to see through it.

Features:

1) Camera2) Multimedia3) Applications4) Voice recognition 5) Tracker / GPS6) Wi-Fi7) Email8) Bluetooth9) Mobile OS10)Phone

Use Cases: Business processes improved Utilized where there is a need for hands-free movement

Augmented Reality

Simple output processes: processes that do not require intense interactions between user and application; no manual data-entry

Need to be hands-free for your business:

1) Checklist2) Schedule3) Indoor and outdoor navigation4) Geo boundaries5) Location reporting6) Remote viewing and support7) Recognition8) Collaboration9) Partner ecosystem

How exactly does this help your industry..Primary aimed to help employees that are on “out-of-office” premises

Oil & Gas: drilling engineers, maintenance processes, new joiners training, safety walk

Manufacturing: capturing floor-machine running info

Retail: visual help, guidance

Delivery & logistics: package delivery – scanning and proof of delivery; warehouse staff – hands free movement & updating status in movements, receipts, shipments

Healthcare: live feeds, record references, package shipments

Construction: safety precautions

Technology Maturity & Smart Glass AdoptionGartner projects the adoption rate of smart glasses used in Warehouses to increase from less than 1% to 10% over the next five years

Gartner has also forecasted that smart glasses could save the field service industry alone up to $1 billion per year by 2017.

Warehouse Picking

“55%” of warehouse operating expenses goes in pickingFailure to achieve significant improvement in the “picking productivity”

Reduction in “Picking errors”. Even though less than 0.5%, causing serious follow-up and correction cost

Contract picker “training and efficiency”

Are Smart glasses the answer1) Less Versatile / bulky

2) Ambient Noise

3) Not as widely accepted

4) Expensive

5) Heat emission

6) Irritation / Side-effects (headaches)

7) Data security threats – if the device is stolen

Let’s talk Smart Picking (1/2)

Question How does smart picking score in each area

Speed of Picking

• Continuous hand interaction with scanner eliminated. • No additional input to be fed into the scanner. • Indoor Location assistance identifies the shortest route to the next item, thus reducing

wasted motion.• Augmented Reality visually assists in quickly identifying exactly which pallet to pick from

the rack thus eliminating need for manual identification.

Training• Audio and visual prompts for commands in each step of the picking process thus

providing on the job training while increasing the efficiency of the picker from day one.• 12 major languages, this allows the picker to adapt and learn operation of the device

quickly.

Obsolescence of Technology

• Solution can be deployed parallel to the existing solution, the systems can co- exist and transition seamlessly.

• The solution has the ability to extend to other business processes in the warehouse and is WMS agnostic.

Process Change

• Existing process is not changed. Solution will augment each step to improve speed, accuracy and reduction of wasted motion.

Backend systems and security

• All processing is done with existing servers with minimum invasion from the glass.

Cost• As wasted motion is reduced, the picker is able to perform faster with greater efficiency,

guaranteeing speedy ROI. The purchase cost of a Smart Glass is cheaper then a high-end RF scanner.

Let’s talk Smart Picking (2/2)

Question How does smart picking score in each area

Health & Safety• Certified to wear on Prescription glasses.• Multiple choice of head-mounding options provides suitability for each picker.• Complete hands-free and voice activated workflow increases safety.

Accuracy • Augmented reality visual identification ensures the right pallet is picked every time.

Resistance to Change

• Solution offers greater comfort to user. Also, local language support available.

Comfort of Use

• Certified to wear on Prescription glasses.• Multiple choice of mounting options provides suitability for each picker.• Complete hands-free and voice activated workflow increases more safety.• No heavy or clumsy gear.

Non-glass users • Glass less smart-glass, head mounting units for smart-glass

VIL (The Flemish Institute for Logistics) RESEARCH OF PROJECT 'VISION LOGISTICS' A fraction of the cost of Voice Picking or

Pick/Put to Light solutions with the same performance

Flexible. You can change the layout of your distribution area when ever you want without any effort

No infrastructure requirements. A link to access your order data (from ERP or WMS system) and a wireless internet connection is all you need.

Very easy to use. 15 minutes of training and your picking team is ready to start

Works very efficient in 'put' operations as well, like scanning & sorting high volumes of small packages

Hands-free: Smart Glasses vs. Tablets

Smart Glasses• Operates hands-free (for Clean

Rooms, dusty environments, etc.)• Command by Voice or Hand Gestures• Collaborate using Video/Audio• Live annotations, Photo/Video Capture • QR & Barcode scanning/GPS location

sensing – Use for Picking (Warehouse), Staging work docs.

• Next Generation – 3D modeling and simulations, virtual and augmented reality.

iPad and iPhones• Not hands-free • Touch based operation• Collaborate using Video/Audio• Photo/Video Capture • QR capability through camera
