2. Order Picking in the Warehouse
Order picking is the process of finding and extracting
products from a warehouse to fulfil customer orders. Since
the order picking process involves significant cost and can
affect customer satisfaction levels, there has been an
increasing number of improvements proposed to help
companies with this supply chain issue.
3. How AR Picking Works
A pick operator wearing smart glasses loads a batch of orders to
be picked and asks via the built-in microphone to be given the
next location where a pick is to be performed.
As the operator navigates toward the location, the smart glasses
scan the location barcode and validate that the operator is in the
right place.
The built-in vision system recognizes the product and verifies the
correct item is picked.
4. Operators are visually and audibly guided to place the product
into the right position on the picking cart.
A pick is then complete, and the system updates the order status
and inventory levels.
The operator executes the prior steps until the batch of orders are
completed.

6. Benefits of AR Picking
Mobile solution - Wearable technology is fully mobile and can be
used without recharging for a long period of time, covering an
entire shift of operation.
Rich graphical user interface – Full colour, high-resolution
displays provide a visually equivalent image to a smartphone
display. Displays can also show rich information without the need
for carrying a handheld device.
Voice-controlled processing - With built-in speakers,
microphone, and voice recognition engine, smart glasses capture
and execute voice commands.
7. Barcode scanning and image capture - With a built-in camera
and ability to capture video, scanning of barcodes is an integral
part of smart glass technology.
Vision-aided processing - In conjunction with the built-in
camera, the vision recognition framework helps with accuracy of
supply chain operations, for example, picking the correct product
during an order fulfillment process.
Global positioning – A built-in GPS system aids with operator
navigation and positioning within the warehouse.
8. Gesture controls – A gesture recognition engine within the smart
glasses can recognize certain head or body movement, which can
serve as commands to the system.
Hands-free processing – The entire system is located in the
smart glasses, and it does not require hands to operate.
Potential low cost of ownership – As smart glasses find their use
in both the consumer and enterprise market, the demand will
drive the prices down, and smart glasses will become more
affordable than some existing mobile solutions in the supply
chain.
