Wearable

Join us on June 20 to discover how integrating wearables and AMRs can revolutionize picking productivity and operational efficiency in your warehouse and manufacturing environments.

Product bundle combines topsystem's pick-by-voice solution with wearable scanners from ProGlove.

Research from ProGlove on the future warehousing & logistics investment finds only half of leaders intend to implement automation technology in the next five years.

Voice-directed solutions do more than translate pick lists in voice instructions. These solutions are multi-modal, using wearable scanners and Android device screens when appropriate, and have evolved to handle work execution functions and integrate with mobile robots.

By adopting wearable scanners paired with Android tablets and their own mounts, RAM Mounts gained a 15% increase in warehouse efficiency.

Survey of more than 800 warehouse staff and managers commissioned by wearable scanner solution provider ProGlove finds despite continuing labor shortages, many organizations overlook workforce, and staff dissatisfaction is becoming an increasing problem.

With the launch, Ansell partnered with Modjoul, a wearables and data analytics company delivering solutions to improve workplace safety, and Corvex, a leading provider of connected workforce technologies.

Training and technology, including wearables that detect risky movements, can make a physically demanding job safer.

A market that’s growing at a rate of 14.7% annually, the voice picking sector continues to innovate to meet the needs of today’s warehouses and distribution centers.

There are sure to be some interesting autonomous mobile robot designs and features to learn about at MODEX, but what really perks my interest are integrated workflows that unite robotics with other forms of automation, with fewer manual scans or system inputs needed.

A fulfillment solution from Fetch Robotics and parent company Zebra Technologies looks to simultaneously manage human labor and mobile robots, in what’s shaping up as a trend aimed at helping labor-constrained operations.

Modernization of key user interfaces to a custom WMS, along with new wearable Android devices, brought Mobis a 15% productivity increase and an additional 39% reduction in errors without changes to its WMS. The system now is also voice enabled for the future.

New company combines workers compensation insurance with technology-driven approach to worker safety

Today’s lift trucks and standup orderpickers are designed with ergonomics in mind, but new types of wearables are another means of reducing strains and risk of injury for operators.

IoT need not be approached a bespoke project, say ProMat DX sponsors who offer solutions with IoT connectivity and cloud analytics options built in
