The warehouse that shows the way

Time in a warehouse is not lost moving goods. It is lost working out where to put them.

Ask an operator what slows a shift down and the answer is rarely the walking. It is the pause at the end of the aisle, the moment of working out which bay, which level, which slot. Multiply that pause by every line on every order and you have the real cost.

Guidance where the work happens

With a mixed-reality headset the operator still sees the real aisle, the real stock and their colleagues. Passthrough keeps the physical world in view; the platform adds only what is missing. A path is drawn on the floor and arrows lead to the right position.

Reading the destination code closes the task. That single scan is both the confirmation for the operator and the signal to the management system, so stock and assignments update without anyone typing anything.

No infrastructure to install

The point worth dwelling on is what is absent. There are no beacons, no camera network and no cabling. The spatial intelligence sits in the headset and in the platform, which means a layout change is a change to the scene, not a project.

  • The space is captured by scanning it, then anchored so the scene belongs to the place
  • Shelving and equipment come from the asset library; products are uploaded or picked from your catalogue
  • Each product carries a QR code holding its ID, the bridge between the physical object and its digital twin
  • The layout is rearranged by reaching out and moving the virtual item
A warehouse that no longer limits itself to holding goods: it accompanies them.

For teams that want the same guidance without a headset, the lighter setup runs on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses: barcode reading and voice guidance for a full shift, with the aisle still audible through open-ear audio.
