A Freehand System for the Management of Orders Picking and Loading of Vehicles

摘要

The process of picking goods from a warehouse and loading distribution vehicles is done in a systematic manner which in general corresponds to a certain order. For instance in the delivery of goods, it may be important to load the transportation vehicles in the reverse order of the customers visit, in furtherance of better accessing the products when unloading/delivering. This management can be troublesome if the human-computer interface requires the use of devices, like mouses or keyboards, which are difficult to be used under certain condition (e.g., human with dirty hands or wearing thick gloves/clothes). In this paper it is presented a proof-of-concept in the area of picking goods from a warehouse and the corresponding vehicle loading when using equipments which do not allow easy use of common human-computer interfaces. In this sense, an application using a 3D sensor was programmed to implement the human-computer interaction based on simple swipe gestures to navigate through the options, menu and their (de)selection.
