Creating a hands-free inventory system requires more than transferring an existing mobile application to smart glasses. The solution must connect digital assignments with a large physical warehouse, support reliable code recognition, respond to voice commands and exchange results with existing warehouse systems.
For ID Logistics, Nsflow, a NeuroSYS company, designed and developed Inventory AR: a dedicated smart-glasses solution supporting inventory operations across more than 11,000 locations at the distribution centre in Słubice. The system combines wearable UX, digital navigation, camera control, configurable documentation, a central operations panel and system integration. A working pilot was delivered in less than two months.
Business challenge
The objective was to replace a handheld-scanner workflow with one integrated hands-free process. Operators needed to receive assignments, navigate through the facility, confirm locations, identify products, enter quantities and document results without using a mobile terminal.
More than 11,000 warehouse locations had to be represented digitally in a structure that operators could understand while moving through the building. The application also needed to recognise small product and location codes from a practical working distance.
Documentation requirements varied between inventory scenarios: a photo could be mandatory, optional or required only when a product had no readable code. These policies needed to remain configurable rather than hard-coded.
Finally, assignments, confirmed results and discrepancy corrections had to move automatically between Inventory AR and the customer’s warehouse environment, while supervisors required real-time operational visibility.
