display (OHMD) or computerised internet-connected glasses with
transparent heads-up display (HUD) or augmented reality (AR) overlay
that has capability of reflecting projected digital images as well as
allowing the user to see through it.

Technology Maturity & Smart Glass Adoption
Wearables & JD Edwards6
Gartner projects the adoption rate of smart glasses used in
Warehouses to increase from less than 1% to 10% over the
next five years
Gartner has also forecasted that smart glasses could save the
field service industry alone up to $1 billion per year by 2017.

Warehouse Picking
7 9/29/2016
“55%” of warehouse operating expenses goes in picking
Failure to achieve significant improvement in the “picking productivity”
Reduction in “Picking errors”. Even though less than 0.5%, causing serious follow-up and
correction cost
Contract picker “training and efficiency”

Are Smart glasses the answer
9/29/2016 Wearables & JD Edwards8
1) Less Versatile / bulky
2) Ambient Noise
3) Not as widely accepted
4) Expensive
5) Heat emission
6) Irritation / Side-effects (headaches)
7) Data security threats – if the device is stolen

Let’s talk Smart Picking (1/2)
Wearables & JD Edwards9
Question How does smart picking score in each area
Speed of Picking
• Continuous hand interaction with scanner eliminated.
• No additional input to be fed into the scanner.
• Indoor Location assistance identifies the shortest route to the next item, thus reducing wasted
motion.
• Augmented Reality visually assists in quickly identifying exactly which pallet to pick from the rack
thus eliminating need for manual identification.
Training
• Audio and visual prompts for commands in each step of the picking process thus providing on the
job training while increasing the efficiency of the picker from day one.
• 12 major languages, this allows the picker to adapt and learn operation of the device quickly.
Obsolescence of
Technology
• Solution can be deployed parallel to the existing solution, the systems can co- exist and transition
seamlessly.
• The solution has the ability to extend to other business processes in the warehouse and is WMS
agnostic.
Process Change
• Existing process is not changed. Solution will augment each step to improve speed, accuracy and
reduction of wasted motion.
Backend systems
and security
• All processing is done with existing servers with minimum invasion from the glass.
Cost
• As wasted motion is reduced, the picker is able to perform faster with greater efficiency,
guaranteeing speedy ROI. The purchase cost of a Smart Glass is cheaper then a high-end RF scanner.

VIL (The Flemish Institute for
Logistics) RESEARCH OF PROJECT
'VISION LOGISTICS'
A fraction of the cost of Voice Picking or
Pick/Put to Light solutions with the same
performance
Flexible. You can change the layout of your
distribution area when ever you want without
any effort
No infrastructure requirements. A link to
access your order data (from ERP or WMS
system) and a wireless internet connection is
all you need.
Very easy to use. 15 minutes of training and
your picking team is ready to start
Works very efficient in 'put' operations as
well, like scanning & sorting high volumes of
small packages

Smart glasses can “reduce colleague travel, yielding cost savings
and higher productivity. Allow real-time (or accelerated) decision
making thus reducing downtime on production lines and making
better decisions.” – Global Manufacturing VP
“SMART glasses could be used during line clearance processes
to show where the hot spots are on the line. There are
numerous applications within manufacturing areas where they
could be deployed.” – Global Technology Services Leader
“These could be implemented as part of our audit hosting
process. They could be worn by the escort or the scribe to give
real time feed of the audit tours.” – Audit Director
“Usage of smart glasses in Inhouse/LSP warehouses can deliver
good results in multiple fields, like storage, pick-pack, distribution
as well as internal audit processes, new employee trainings and
investigations.” – Warehouse manager
“Could be used to qualitatively compare color and consistency
of crystal slurries (or filter cakes) between lab/pilot plant and
full scale plant.” – Research Director
