“Introducing pick-by-vision led to a major increase in picking productivity. The simple visual guidance reduces training time by up to 60% and makes order picking processes much more accurate.”
Larry Olson, Director Global Business Technology Solutions
NEOVIA
After the pick-by-vision system helped achieve major productivity increases at the first sites where it was used, Neovia Logistics decided to expand its inventory of smart glasses. It planned to install the technology at other sites in Europe and the USA, with the ultimate aim of moving completely to the hands-free system. There was just one problem: the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the resulting hygiene and social distancing measures.
Remote installation proved to be the perfect solution, allowing Picavi to deliver the smart glasses to the various sites in Europe and the USA. The hardware was prepared to make it quick and easy to install by the key users in the logistics centers. This involved setting up the customer software with a customized menu guide and connecting it to the warehouse management system on site.
The hardware was connected before delivery, thus reducing the on-site installation requirements to a minimum. The glasses were connected to the respective site using the business intelligence software Picavi Cockpit, which features integrated mobile device management. After some brief training, the pickers on site were ready to start work with the intuitive system.
Shortly after the implementation phase, Neovia Logistics was able to boost efficiency by 15%. The simple visual guidance reduces the training time by up to 60%. There have also been significant improvements in both the precision of the dispatched orders and the training time for new employees.
Today, Neovia Logistics has global site licenses for Picavi pick-by-vision and the largest inventory of smart glasses in the global intralogistics industry.
