syncreon was the first client to implement the Ubimax standard xPick interface. In only three days of on-site implementation Ubimax rolled out the Vision Picking solution and trained the operators. During the three week pilot program, 3,000 units were picked from more than 900 warehouse locations. This pilot program included syncreon operators, IT, production managers, trainers, quality engineers, and process engineers. For an individual device evaluation, Ubimax provided the Glass Enterprise Edition and the Vuzix M300 Smart Glass combined with Symbol Ring Scanner or Socket Mobile Scanner. The graphical User Interfaces of both Smart Glasses provided an intuitive display of relevant information for incoming orders. Supported by the scanner, hands-free flexible order picking was finally possible!
