  • Smart glasses in sustainable manual order picking systems [Elektronski vir]
    Gajšek, Brigita, 1974- ; Vujica-Herzog, Nataša
    The concept of sustainable development is gaining attention in all spheres of our life. Especially in production environments, it is important to reduce environmental impact and improve working ... conditions while still increasing economic value. This comprehensive effort roughly describes sustainability that we address on the example of manual order picking system, which is a part of many production systems. These systems have the potential to introduce new technologies, which require a judgment on the sustainability of the action, through the perspective of sustainability. One of the technologies with a great potential for use in order picking process are smart glasses, which integrates the core functionality of a smartphone in a pair of glasses. They are classified as a head-mounted device. As such, they are among the modern technical widgets with great expectations about their usable value in framework of Industry 4.0. Until now, only some practical examples in industry are described in literature. Order picking "man-to-goods" workplaces are an example of working environments where humans are still central actors and determine their effectiveness and effciency (Gajšek et al., Proceedings of MOTSP international conference, Zagreb. Croatian Association for PLM, 2017a; Gajšek et al., Organizacja i Zarządzanie 72:45-61, 2017b). Full automation still will not be rational in the near future. Order picking activities are labor-intensive and time consuming. Smart glasses could be one of the means to improve working conditions and human-friendly rise in productivity. When working in a warehouse as order picker, having both free hands and information displayed in natural vision field is a progress in ergonomics and can help increase picking performance. In parallel, order pickers can be easily supported by any distant expert from any wired location, alerted to environmental hazards, acquainted with the achievement of a personal plan and more. Smart glasses could completely take over a function of a central personal information source. New questions arise with infating expectations and expansion of their use in practice, such as the impact of long-term use on employee's vision characteristics, the impact of different user interfaces, the employee's perception of the long-term use of the device, and other. In the chapter, we review scientific literature on use of smart glasses in manual orderpicking system and contribute to finding answers to the above questions by performing an experiment in a laboratory environment with realistic equipment.
