XR Assists Warehouse Picking NTT QONOQ and DMS

NTT QONOQ and DMS developed and conducted a demonstration experiment of a “picking assistance application” for logistics warehouses that utilizes wireless XR. The results demonstrated that it can improve the work efficiency of less-skilled workers by approximately 11%.
The two companies will continue to add and improve the tool’s functions, enabling less-skilled workers to work as efficiently as more-skilled workers.
The demonstration experiment involved workers performing picking tasks in a DMS-operated warehouse using the “picking assistance application” to verify the improvement of picking work efficiency using XR glasses. The experiment used “MiRZA,” a wireless XR glass compatible with AR and MR.
In the demonstration, a JAN code representing the list was loaded onto the picking list to be used during work, and QR codes were placed on each shelf in the warehouse in advance. These were then read by the MiRZA camera, and an application was created that displayed navigation to the storage location of the items to be picked through XR glasses. This application enabled workers to receive intuitive navigation information while working, demonstrating improved work efficiency.
