A new trend report identifies eleven potential Augmented Reality use cases in logistics: wearables and augmented reality enable higher efficiency as well as speed, resulting in an improved supply chain
DHL has issued a new study on Augmented Reality in logistics, focusing on possible applications of this emerging trend in the different stages of the supply chain. The trend report illustrates how operations in warehouses, during transportation and last-mile delivery as well as value-added services could be enhanced by computer-generated sensory input such as videos or graphics.
The report has been developed by DHL Customer Solutions & Innovation’s Trend Research team as part of an on-going research project into Augmented Reality in logistics. DHL is planning to test some of the derived use cases in proof of concept studies.
The report (www.dhl.com/augmentedreality) is available online.
