DHL brings its Vision Picking Program to the next phase with Smart Glasses | HMD hot spot | Scoop.it
Successful Program at Ricoh DC in Europe to be Expanded in Scope, Implemented in Next Phase Pilots Across the Globe
Sara Mautino's insight:
In the expanded pilot, pickers will be equipped with advanced smart glasses which visually display each item that needs to be picked, and then read the bar code confirming the pick through the smart glasses, with the glasses then showing where each picked item needs to be placed on a pick cart.
This improve productivity through hands-free operation and eliminating the need for pickers to look down at an RF terminal. Picking accuracy is also improved, DHL says.

The data available from these pilots will further determine the technology's potential for broader implementation.

"Pokémon Go’s Breakout Success Has Implications for the Real World, Too." - MIT Tech Review | HMD hot spot | Scoop.it
Nintendo’s mega-popular new game shows that augmented reality may yet trump virtual reality.
Sara Mautino's insight:
"That huge financial success may be a sign of things to come. While the world seems agog at the possibilities of virtual reality, analysts from Stanford-based Digi-Capital suggest that while “virtual reality could be big soon ... augmented reality could be bigger,” though it “might take longer to get there.” While virtual reality—of the kind championed by Oculus, HTC, and Sony—is certainly immersive, augmented reality allows the user to continue interacting with the real world."

Smart Wearables Hold Productivity Potential In Enterprises

Smart Wearables Hold Productivity Potential In Enterprises | HMD hot spot | Scoop.it

 - InformationWeek - "Smart wearables are making their way into the enterprise, but are largely in the testing phase, according to recently released numbers from IDC. Among the potential uses is stepped-up security.

Sara Mautino's insight:
What Ubrani and his colleagues are seeing in the enterprise today, especially in manufacturing, are devices that free up a person's hands to do other work. Since these types of devices, which include smart glasses and headsets, use cameras, the technology also serves to document what an employee does. "

"For instance, if you had someone working in a lab, you could see if they consulted a training manual or if they were following procedures and know what they are pulling up through looking at the camera," said Ubrani. "It basically helps you document everything."
