Benefits of Wearables for Augmented Reality in Logistics
There are many situations in which an employee needs wearables for Augmented Reality because they must use their hands to perform tasks. In this post on Philipp Rauschnabel’s blog, the author summarizes an interview recently conducted for Mobile Business, a German business publication. The focus is on the benefits of hands-free displays such as smart glasses in logistics.
The primary benefits are to reduce distraction, offer navigation within a warehouse, quickly address rare or new situations and unforeseen problems, and make relevant information faster to find and easier to use.
In addition to use cases that provide instant access to orders and other facility information, the possibility of offering remote experts to assist a worker in the warehouse is very attractive to planners.
