Picking 4.0 with "Pick-by-Watch

Smooth order picking and seamless digitization - these are the goals that companies in the logistics industry are currently striving to achieve. Although terms such as Logistics 4.0 and digital transformation are on everyone's lips, there is still a lot of catching up to do in some areas.

Some companies, for example, still use notes and pens to pick goods. In other companies, handheld scanners have replaced paper-based picking processes, but the question of the right technology arises here as well.

For example, handheld scanners are not "hands-free," and other solutions are too expensive, not very intuitive or not adaptive. The use and technical integration of the latest wearables can remedy this situation and enable completely new, cost-effective and digital solutions for logistics processes.

Here, Arvato Systems offers, among other things, the combination of the "Pick-by-Watch" picking system and an innovative, cloud-based platform with which both internal and cross-company logistics processes can be orchestrated and executed on the move using smart wearables.

The platform is equipped with standard interfaces, such as to an order-managing SAP EWM system. The use of smartwatches supports the picker with intelligent screen sequences while maintaining the efficiency of the workflow - because the picker has his hands free for the actual activity throughout.

Interested parties can experience the IT specialist's solution live at this year's LogiMat.
