Wearable technology profiled at Mercedes-Benz Vans plant

Mercedes-Benz Vans, together with ProGlove and Computacenter, shows how the use of wearable technology is helping operations at its Dusseldorf, Germany plant.

The German vehicle OEM says: “Logistics in an automotive plant is a highly complex task. Countless parts and materials need to be in the right place ‘just in time’ in order not to let production come to a standstill and to produce the vehicles according to individual customer requirements. Where workers used to stand with paper and pen at the shelves of the warehouses, modern digitally connected technology has found its way in. Handheld scanners and smart glasses are just two of the numerous digitally connected tools with great effect: They make processes faster, safer, more flexibly controllable, more efficient and thus also relieve the individual employee.”
