Instead of appreciating products in physical stores, modern people are getting more and more accustomed to shopping online, and the subsequent epidemic has further contributed to the advent of the online shopping era. Even now, when the epidemic has been lifted, the burden on the supply chain is still getting heavier and heavier, which is a problem we cannot afford to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising transportation costs and increased restrictions on imports\/exports have made mistakes along the supply chain more expensive than ever. Many shipping and logistics companies are tasked with finding better, smarter and faster ways to operate to meet demand and reduce costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supply chain operators are always looking for ways to upgrade their processes to increase speed and flexibility while maintaining stability. Augmented Reality (AR) technology is not only flexible, but also a cheaper alternative to traditional automation methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is visual selection necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Human beings are most comfortable with vision of all five senses.<\/strong>.\u201d said Gurumurthi Shankar, Chief Commercial Officer at Global Shipping and Logistics (GSL).\u201d That's why the combination of visual and minimal voice commands makes this application easy to use and an easy-to-integrate technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to ease of use, the team uses the Vuzix M400 Intelligent Mirror<\/strong>Added the ability toAbility to record events<\/strong>This allows any event that occurs in the supply chain - \"as easy to track as you want\" - to be referenced in the future for any reason. This feature is a huge benefit to the entire operational process and supply chain management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology frees up the operator's hands and makes human work easier. All in all. This is not science fiction. It's real. This technology gives us the extra speed we need to serve more customers without compromising quality or accuracy!<\/em><\/p>\nGurumurthi Shankar (Chief Commercial Officer, GSL)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

GSL chose to use Vuzix smart glasses because they combine artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and machine vision to provide real-time visual and auditory references, as well as decision support for employees in the field. These features, along with the depth and breadth of information included, make Vuzix smart glasses an indispensable operational tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glasses are comfortable to wear and easy to maneuver throughout the day, allowing users to work with both hands while completing tasks correctly and providing real-time messaging and communication. They also provide a dynamic end-to-end connection to GSL's Warehouse Management System (WMS) solution, enabling them to access and manage inventory, shipping and receiving, and other business functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manhattan SCALE<\/p>\n\n\n

Manhattan SCALE is developed by Aptus. GSL Warehouse Management System<\/strong>SCALE provides the features, functionality and technology they need to solve their supply chain execution challenges, accessible directly through the Smart Glasses interface. It provides sophisticated logistical capabilities that are rapidly deployed using a highly configurable environment and easy-to-use inputs.SCALE's capabilities include inventory management, sortation slot replenishment, distribution optimization, order planning, labor management and forecasting, slot optimization, billing management, and Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) management-all of which are available to employees wearing Vuzix smart glasses. In most cases, employees wearing Vuzix smart glasses have free access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By opening up access requirements to business systems, such new access provides new standards of efficiency and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GSL has worked with Aptus to develop visual picking technology that combines speech and vision with great success. As a direct result of implementing this technology, GSL has seen previously unheard of performance improvements in the areas of receiving, putting away and picking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Receiving-related performance improved by 15 %.Average unloading time reduced by 4 minutes<\/strong>\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The performance of the retractable and retractable motions has increased by 24 %.Average slotting time reduced by 22 minutes<\/strong>\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The performance of the selection process has improved by 20 %.Average order processing time reduced by 16 minutes<\/strong>\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aptus ExpertVision relies entirely on existing Manhattan SCALE scanner processes - using all the logic and complex calculations of the software. When new sorting processes are entered into the Manhattan SCALE system, they are automatically pushed into the application on the glasses. This allows for increased distribution flexibility and the ability to meet customer needs without compromising sorting efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Vuzix's ergonomic wearable form factor allows the wearer to focus on complex tasks, while user experience features optimize the process of rapid knowledge capture and help warehouse operators improve the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

system and enable employees to accomplish their tasks in a faster and more efficient manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
