Wearable equipment – The Future of Modernization
Every day, the line between worker and machine blurs a little more as technology advances to complement workforces across varying industries, and warehousing is no different. In 2019, merely 22% of warehouses reported investing in wearable computing, yet that number is expected to jump to 62% by 2022[1]. Wearable's in the WarehouseIntelligent technology such as augmented and virtual reality are also expected to increase in popularity within the next two years. While it’s easy to get lost in the hype of new technology, it’s equally important to understand how the next generation of efficient computing can improve your business.
Growing alongside technology breakthroughs is an unforgiving on-demand global market. In the age of instant gratification, expected delivery times have been drastically reduced to three days or less by at least 63% of shoppers[2]. E-commerce alone has led large online stores such as Amazon to open physical stores to meet demands with buy-online-pick-up-in-store purchases. To enhance competitiveness, wearable technology maximizes worker performance, leading to:
- Greater data capture accuracy
- Faster picking speeds
- Maximized worker mobility secured by durable ergonomics
- Better worker safety
