Vuzix® Corporation announced that Bechtle has begun using augmented reality (AR) glasses, including the Vuzix M100, at its logistics hub, located at company headquarters in Neckarsulm. This successful deployment of smart glasses sets the stage for additional planned applications. Bechtle is deploying the Vuzix Smart Glasses as an alternative to handheld scanners, which it will continue to use for the time being.

The glasses display information directly in the user's line of vision through SAP's Android app, which communicates continuously with Bechtle's warehouse management system via Wi-Fi. The app directs the wearer through the picking process step by step, keeping the user's hands free the entire time. Sight-controlled barcode/QR code scanning and powerful voice recognition allow users to quickly, intuitively and accurately control tasks that previously required manual input.

The solution also offers an integrated low stock check to ensure an adequate inventory of the product just picked.
