Hänel Storage Systems, Pittsburgh, Pa., collaborated with information technology specialists at MAN to link two Hänel Lean-Lift systems to SAP and enable storage system operation via smartglasses.
In this solution, the smartglasses function as an augmented reality (AR) device that communicates with SAP via an app implemented by MAN. SAP sends transport commands via SOAP protocol directly to the Hänel lift controller. This intralogistics solution also features a glove with an integrated scanner worn by employees, which offers hands-free order picking.
