Vision picking, also known as pick-by-vision, uses augmented reality to display information about an item, such as its location, quantity, and picture, directly in the operator's field of vision on smart glasses.
TeamViewer has a blueprint for implementation based on years of experience. We act as your partner to create workshops, training, and a rollout plan customized for the needs of your sites and workers utilizing this framework to ensure a frictionless experience. An example of implementation might look like this: Phase 1 takes place at a single distribution center and allows our customers to run their legacy system and vision picking side by side for comparison lasting 60-90 days. Once the first phase is successful, we roll out implementation to another handful of warehouses and continue from there.
Vision picking, also known as pick-by-vision, combines the best features of all picking methods. It offers visual instructions through smart glasses or other wearables, showing intuitive, easy-to-follow steps to complete orders from your warehouse management systems (WMS). These step-by-step instructions are designed and built by TeamViewer in collaboration with your managers to ensure the challenges you face in your warehouse are addressed. Visual guidance helps improve productivity and reduces errors to virtually zero. Vision picking provides instant confirmation via scanners, voice commands and pictures, and includes an integrated communication tool for ad-hoc troubleshooting. Visual picking enhances exception processing with the ability to document via voice to text, pictures, and video.
