Use of voice recognition has increased sharply over the past few years because of the greatly enhanced technology and efficiency improvements proven in the field.
A Voice Recognition (VR) system is roughly comparable to an RF system with mobile computers. The difference is that VR gives the user information audibly through a headset.
The data entry feedback is via a microphone instead of the keyboard of the RF computer.
A VR system is also implemented in combination with an upstream system, usually a Warehouse Management System (WMS). The picking instructions are converted to spoken messages that, for example, tell the user to go to a certain location to pick a product. The user confirms his/her action orally.
Many RF computers now also support voice recognition, making them usable for both purposes. RF and voice recognition system use the same transmitter/receivers (access points).
How is VoiceLogistics Different?
Early solutions used voice recognition for simple data collection - in effect turning workers into talking scanners. VoiceLogistics is more comprehensive because it optimizes the workforce, not just tasks. It is driven by powerful software that works with your WMS to optimize entire activities, not just data collection.
VoiceLogistics has capabilities no other product offers:
- Continuous One-to-One Management
- Personalized Performance Enhancers
- Activity-Based Streamlining
VoiceLogistics includes a unique and powerful technology foundation:
- Adaptive Voice Recognition
- Platform Independence
- Web-Native Architecture
VoiceLogistics combines knowledge of the worker with knowledge of the logistics process, real time access to the WMS, and visibility into warehouse conditions to give superlative direction to workers - optimizing what each one can achieve.
Continuous One-to-One Management also gives site supervisors immediate visibility into logistics activities as they happen.
Workers who need personal attention can be quickly identified, thus making supervisors more effective in the use of their own time.
VoiceLogistics boosts the performance and effectiveness of every worker - from trainees to the most experienced people. It is personalized to each worker's voice, working environment, ability and job role.
In the area of Voice Recognition, CaptureTech has a strategic alliance with VoxWare. Voxware develops the application Voice Logistics, in combination with voice terminals, or with RF computers that also support voice applications!
