VAR's Warehouse Voice System 'Speaks' To Workers

According to Schriefer, the installation requires the Motorola mobile device with microphone headsets, an 802.11 a/b network, a server hosting a warehouse management system, a server application that manages assignments and orders and more.

To set up the voice activated system, every user has to build a voice template so the system recognizes their voice queues. The process, Schriefer said, takes about 20 minutes.

"No two people speak exactly the same," he said. In warehouse environments there are often workers with different accents, he added, some have Vietnamese accents, Spanish accents, Boston accents and southern accents.
