How Does the Wearable Task Assistant Work?

Maximize Picking Performance

The Wearable Task Assistant is a hands-free picking device designed to improve operator efficiency, accuracy, and comfort. Worn on the wrist and powered by an intuitive E-Ink display, it provides real-time, step-by-step guidance throughout the picking process—reducing walking distances, improving picking speed, and minimizing mental strain on warehouse staff.

With all key data—such as pick quantity, trolley details, and put location—clearly displayed on the screen, operators stay focused and informed without needing to reference paper lists or external screens. A built-in barcode scanner validates each step, providing instant feedback and preventing errors before they occur.

When paired with the Kardex Color Pick System, the Wearable Task Assistant enables combi picking—allowing operators to pick higher volumes of a single item for multiple orders at once.

This streamlines batch fulfillment, reduces unnecessary walking, and boosts overall throughput, especially during peak periods or high-volume shifts.
