Zebra’s hands-free solutions are said to address need for faster picking as e-fulfilment booms.
Zebra Technologies Corporation has responded to the industry’s need to increase operational visibility to ramp up efficiency and productivity by introducing a collection of products designed for warehousing tasks.
The Total Wearable Solutions collection – said to be the world’s only dedicated family of wearable devices built on the Android operating system (OS) – is backed by Zebra Mobility DNA, with hands-free and speech-directed picking that increases user mobility, comfort and accuracy. Compared with traditional speech-only wearable devices, the new multi-modal solution delivers 15 per cent productivity improvements, with a 39 per cent reduction in errors.
