Picavi’s pick-by-vision solution now enables users to input information by voice. Workers can activate the microphone on their smart glasses and issue instructions to the software controlling the system through voice commands.

Augmented reality wearables help efficiency by assisting workers through the integration of technology into their actual field of vision, like the Pick-By-Vision glasses from Picavi.

Robotics and automation makes you think speed, efficiency, and higher productivity. However, there is a key component that is often lacking. Take the example of a grocery story cashier being replaced by a robot — teaching the robot how to pick up a banana without squishing seems to be a futile task, but the robot lacks human intelligence and natural ability to be flexible and adjust to the new requirements.
