Wearable Technology
Transform your warehouse operations with wearable technology
Wearable tech frees your workers to deliver increased productivity and accuracy by eliminating the need to carry handheld devices or paper documentation. , wearable computers free up workers’ hands, enabling them to be more efficient in their tasks. These increases in speed and accuracy translate directly into improved customer service, reduced costs and higher job satisfaction.
DCT brings exciting new tools and technologies to your manufacturing and distribution line of business workers. We combine innovative hardware and optimized software to reduce steps and streamline workflows to help all of your employees achieve peak performance.
Wearable Barcode Scanners
Wearable barcode scanners offer a practical solution for any application that require hands-free operations. Deployed properly, hands free scanners can increase accuracy by up to 23% and productivity by 44%.
Deploying wearable scanners is not a one size fits all solution. Different form factors include finger scanners, back of hand and wrist mount. Connectivity options range from corded to wireless options including Bluetooth WIFI, and dedicated gateways.
DCT can assist your company in developing a proof of concept to ensure you select the perfect wearable scanner for your application.
Wearable Computer
Wearable computers have come a long way in recent years. Different sizes, form factors and feature sets make wearable computers a viable option in a variety of new applications. Choosing the right technology is crucial to your project’s success.
DCT has been helping our customers select and implement wearable mobile computers for more than 15 years. We can help your team identify which workflows makes sense for wearable computers and then help your team test different option to find the best fit for your specific needs.
Unleash Your Teams’ Potential
Empower your workforce with the freedom of movement and untether them from their devices. Wearable solutions allow your employees to stay hands free and eyes up throughout their workflows, improving productivity and safety end-to-end.
Voice Systems
Voice recognition technology can be a game changer in streamlining operations and improving efficiency in distribution centers and manufacturing operations. Properly implemented, voice systems can dramatically reduce on-boarding and support costs while generating significant increases in productivity, accuracy and employee satisfaction.
DCT makes it easy to add voice recognition capabilities to your existing applications without changing a single line of code. Contact us today to schedule a free proof of concept to see if voice technology is right for your application.
Connected Worker
Connected worker technology is designed to enhance the productivity, safety, and efficiency of workers in manufacturing and distribution.
With connected worker technologies employees are empowered workers with real-time information and insights, enabling them to make informed decisions and perform their tasks more effectively.
Connected worker technology is employed in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, mining, healthcare, and logistics, among others. It not only improves workplace safety and efficiency but also contributes to the digital transformation of traditional industries by harnessing the power of data and connectivity.
The connected worker space is all about technology that empowers employees, improves productivity, and ensures worker safety. Workers can learn new things, collaborate with their colleagues, and gain access to information that helps them perform jobs better.
For connected worker technology to function optimally, we recommend utilizing wearables with a built-in camera, mic, and speaker with noise-cancellation functionality. A more limited subset of connected worker capabilities can also be enabled via laptops, tablets, or phones.
Connectivity allows the remote worker and employees back at headquarters or another site to communicate both visually and verbally, as well as to exchange data. A database or resource center facilitates the transmission of real-time actionable information so decisions can be made quickly and accurately.
Test your advantage with a P.O.C.
Do you have an application you would like to test using hands-free technology? Let us provide a Proof of Concept Free of charge.
Hands-free technology can be a game changer for an organization. But just what does that mean and how do you quantify the savings? At DCT, our standard methodology includes helping our clients with Proof-of-Concept (POC) planning and execution.
What can you expect from your Proof of Concept?
Evaluating Application and hardware for suitability to use:
Having worked with a wide range of technology for more than 20 years, DCT personnel have a long history understanding the benefits and challenges of technology and its application. We can help identify applications with the most promising return on investment.
Develop Proposed Solution Elements:
The proof of concept should be executed as close to real word as possible. DCT can help identify and procure demonstration hardware from all leading manufacturers. In addition to hardware, our team can quickly develop low code/no code applications to allow testing to mimic desired future state workflows.
Execute The Proof-of-Concept:
Our proven project management methodology will help ensure that the POC does not lose momentum. By identifying key activities, establishing critical path, assigning roles, responsibilities and deadlines and then monitoring via daily or weekly standups, DCT keeps your POC on schedule.
Define success criteria including ROI requirement:
In order to justify change, there should be a provable return on investment. DCT analysts can help identify current costs and measure changes to productivity. Our team will then help identify the applications with the highest value.
Document Results:
DCT has pre-established templates that make documenting results fast and efficient while providing the data in ways that are clear and concise. During this process, DCT can assist in providing pricing on the entire bill of materials to implement the final solution. This provides management with real project costs to assist with justification.
Reach out to us today and let’s take a no-obligation look at what DCT can do for your profits.
WMS Modernization in 90 Days
How do you modernize a multi-location warehouse and distribution operation working in 100 countries and managing 35,000 skus, in 90 days? It takes a knowledgeable team, quality hardware and a client ready to commit. DCT accepted the challenge and the results were faster pick times, better return tracking and far fewer steps for hard-working forklift drivers. The modern GUI (graphic user interface) and the addition of pick item photographs along with expanded descriptions increased accuracy and made life easier for the pick team.
