  • Publication number: 20170069135
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of hands-free item verification for a warehouse operator during a picking operation of storage items. Data narrowed down for one or more items existing in a line of sight of an operator with the eyeglass-type wearable device is displayed on a display. Meanwhile, a unique pattern (barcode, QR code, or the like) taken by a camera is recognized. The item verification of a picking target item is performed by comparing the recognized unique pattern and the data related to the item displayed on the display.
