ABSTRACT
Manual order picking is an important part of distribution. Many techniques have been proposed to improve pick efficiency and accuracy. Previous studies compared pick-by-HUD (Head-Up Display) with pick-by-light but without the explicit pick confirmation that is typical in industrial environments. We compare a pick-by-light system designed to emulate deployed systems with a pick-by-HUD system using Google Glass. The pick-by-light system tested 50% slower than pick-by-HUD and required a higher workload. The number of errors committed and picker preference showed no statistically significant difference.

A comparison of order picking assisted by head-up display (HUD), cart-mounted display (CMD), light, and paper pick list
ISWC '14: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputersWearable and contextually aware technologies have great applicability in task guidance systems. Order picking is the task of collecting items from inventory in a warehouse and sorting them for distribution; this process accounts for about 60% of the ...
A comparison of order picking methods augmented with weight checking error detection
ISWC '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputersOrder picking accounts for over 50% of the annual $150 billion spent in warehouse operations in the United States. 80% of order picking is performed manually. We compare the industry default of unassisted paper-list picking and three techniques ...
An empirical task analysis of warehouse order picking using head-mounted displays
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsEvaluations of task guidance systems often focus on evaluations of new technologies rather than comparing the nuances of interaction across the various systems. One common domain for task guidance systems is warehouse order picking. We present a method ...
