How AR is transforming the warehouse and logistics sector
Time is always of the essence in the logistics sector. AR technology has streamlined processes in many ways; here we discuss some of the AR industrial applications for warehousing.
Monitor warehouse operations in real time
Using Zoho Lens, supervisors can quickly check the status of shipments or handling units in inventory, picking, or dispatch by directly accessing the smartphone cameras of the operators in charge at each stage.
Collaborate from any location
Operators can get immediate help from technicians for fixing machine handling equipment (MHE). Equipped with in-session tools, they can analyze the issue, provide detailed instructions, and complete repairs in no time.
Build a comprehensive knowledge base
Zoho Lens allows you to record sessions, take notes and snapshots, and store them in one place. Operators can document the processes involved at each stage of warehousing for training and auditing purposes. With a centralized and accessible knowledge base, warehouse personnel can minimize delays in getting information and execute tasks efficiently.
Train effectively with live visual pointers
Managers can immediately deploy newly hired personnel in warehousing and provide on-site training with minimal risks using visual pointers and annotations. They can also add specific instructions to individual annotations that can be viewed anytime during the session.
Go hands-free with smart glass support
Zoho Lens has partnered with global smart glass manufacturers like Vuzix, Epson, and Realwear so you can receive AR work instructions without disrupting your workflow.
Here’s how Zoho Lens’ augmented reality works in warehousing
Now that we’ve explained how AR has impacted the warehousing industry, we want to explain how Zoho Lens specifically works in busy warehouses.
Get connected
Managers can start or schedule a remote session with an employee from any device. They can send the employee an invite through SMS or email or send the employee the join link.
See what your staff sees
Once the employee joins the session, you can check the status of their order picking through their live camera stream.
Collaborate through text, voice chat, and AR tools
During the session, managers and workers can quickly communicate through text or voice chat. With AR annotations, they can direct or guide the employee through the warehouse and provide step-by-step instructions.
