Augmented Reality in the warehouse

In autumn 2017, our customer, a German industrial group, was concerned about the possible uses of augmented reality applications in warehouses and the resulting added value.

In order to evaluate this project, the project began with a workshop in which the warehouse concerned was analyzed and the processes taking place were examined in detail. After the recording of the actual process and the execution of a user interview, two use cases could be derived, which contributed to the digitization of the warehouse processes. Among other things, an AR functionality was integrated in the picking step, which leads to the fact that storage locations can be found quickly with a dynamic warehouse structure. After developing mockups, both use cases were evaluated using MARKTUT's own 5DOBT potential value analysis.

The result of the potential value analysis was very positive, especially with regard to the possibility of introducing these digital processes into other warehouses.
