Augmented Reality and Pick-by-Voice –

High-tech picking via wireless augmented reality and pick-by-voice for Hänel industrial systems
The Hänel Lean-Lift® can be operated remotely with an optical augmented reality device in conjunction with Pick-by-Voice – there is no need for additional input at the system control terminal. The Hänel Lean-Lift® is connected to an SAP server via the integrated SOAP interface so that no additional middleware is required.

Data input and item selection is accomplished through voice commands in conjunction with the optical AR device. All data and information of relevance to the item, including a photograph of the item, are visible on the AR display worn by the system operator. Users can thus focus their full attention on the picking process without having to handle lists or paper notes. Once an item is requested via voice command, the storage system automatically brings the item to the access point for retrieval, and the item position on the container is identified by Hänel Pick-o-Light®. This minimizes the risk of human picking errors. This technology serves as the basis for many industrial applications – for example, MAN Diesel & Turbo SE in Oberhausen, Germany, has successfully implemented this concept to optimize processes. More information about this solution is available in a video on our website. Hänel storage systems and AR glasses can be linked to various ERP systems thanks to the SOAP interface.

Hänel offers innovative solutions that address the demands of tomorrow!
