Wearables Boost Productivity, Profitability and Employee Satisfaction

The complexities involved in moving food and beverage products from field to shelf on time and in optimal condition are vast. Emerging trends in the industry, such as changes in consumer demand and preference (fresh produce, ready-made meal kits, etc.), e-commerce, regulatory compliance and a growing labor shortage, have further added to the challenge. In response, food distributors are increasingly turning to voice picking and other wearable technologies to increase efficiency, while reducing the margin for error in distribution operations.
