Business Wire
Vocollect, a business unit of Intermec, Inc. (NYSE:IN) and the
world leader in voice-enabled solutions for mobile workers, today
unveiled its new Talkman A700 solution that introduces a voice
industry first – integrated voice and scanning in one wearable
solution – improving user productivity while reducing the need,
cost and management of multiple peripherals, thus creating an
entirely new mobile worker experience. The solution facilitates
hands-free scanning for process steps such as inducting totes at
the beginning of assignments, batch-picking, and product
traceability, while retaining the ergonomic and performance
benefits of a compact, purpose-built mobile device.
“In the past we have deployed Bluetooth® ring scanners to
support scanning in voice workflows. All indications are that
eliminating the extra piece of equipment, the additional battery
required to power the scanner, and the management of pairing the
Bluetooth scanners to the Vocollect Talkman A700 solution will be
beneficial in both productivity and reduction of maintenance,” says
Bill Morris, Senior Director, Hardware Systems, Manhattan
Associates.
Lipari Foods, a leading food distributor based in Warren, Mich.
with more than 8,000 customers in 12 states, uses Vocollect Voice
for case- and each-picking in its distribution operations and has
realized an 80 percent error reduction and 12 percent productivity
improvement. “We had a great experience with our pilot of
Vocollect’s A700 solution. There are many tasks that can benefit
from scanning in addition to voice, such as weight capture. Having
a single hands-free device that supports both voice and scanning is
a powerfully efficient tool for picking and many other distribution
tasks,” says Joe Beydoun, Systems and Process Manager, Lipari
Foods. “Our associates also like the smaller form fit and extended
battery life,” he said.
“We are excited to see our strategic global partner integrate
scanning and voice technologies in a single compact unit,” said
Robert Nilsson, Dematic Vice President and General Manager of
Software and Supply Chain Intelligence. “With our growing software
capabilities in warehouse controls, we can now execute voice
direction with quality control and product tracking functions that
often require a scanning device. Having these capabilities in
a single platform improves efficiency and delivers a better
customer experience.”
In addition to the optional integrated bar code scanner, when
used in combination with Vocollect’s VoiceCatalyst software and
wireless SRX2 headset, the A700 solution supports a number of
features that accelerate deployment and shift start-up times and
improve both system performance and user comfort.
- Vocollect
SoundSense – Maximizes speech recognition quality
by blocking unwanted environmental sounds such as honking fork
lifts, conveyors and freezer fans, enabling a 50 percent reduction
in recognition errors when compared to other leading industrial
headsets
- Vocollect
TouchConnect – Brings immediate touch-pairing of
a worker’s Vocollect SRX2 wireless headset to the A700 solution,
reducing start-up times
- Vocollect
RapidStart – Provides workers with consistent,
self-guided education, minimizing supervisory coaching time and
increasing the speed of worker competency on processes
- Personalized
Voices – Introduces a new “personalized voice”
option which enhances the nearly 200 voice options currently
offered by Vocollect, providing companies with additional
flexibility for their distribution operations environment
The A700 solution is designed to be used by both new and
existing users of Vocollect Voice. It provides a flexible,
configurable architecture approach, allowing it to adapt to new
challenges within the supply chain as business needs evolve. Almost
one million workers in over 60 countries use Vocollect every day to
move in excess of US $5 billion of product to customer locations.
This proven track record of successful deployments is an important
factor to help leaders minimize current and future supply chain
risk with their technology investments.
“With the advent of our A700 solution, there is no better time
for companies to take a new look at voice for transforming their
distribution operations,” says Jay Armant, Vice President of
Product Management, Vocollect. “As the global voice market leader,
Vocollect brought forth a vision of the voice-centric warehouse,
and today offers the most comprehensive end-to-end, integrated
solution to help companies optimize their supply chain
performance.”
The Vocollect A700 solution will be commercially available early
this autumn. For more information, visit www.A700solution.com or
