Case study # Start with one warehouse. Plan for the network. A warehouse network tests wrist-based picking and confirmation with its existing system, one site first. [Talk to us](https://syntaforge.com/en/contact/) A warehouse worker checking a picking task on a T9 wrist terminal. Case study Warehouse networks & logistics companies ## The starting point. The company wants fewer repeated movements to pick up and put down terminals while handling boxes. It also needs completion and shortage updates from different warehouses to match its existing system. The workflow and staff experience matter together. T9 · On the wrist ### The customer and the initial idea ### One company, several warehouses, one route to try first. This project involves a logistics company with several warehouses, an established warehouse system and picking teams working in shifts. Central operations wants a manageable process, site managers want fewer unresolved issues, and employees need the next instruction to remain clear while their hands are busy. The customer wants the current location, item and quantity on the wrist, followed by a clear completion or shortage action. It also needs to understand the effect on its existing warehouse system, how staff would learn the routine and how device and task handovers would work across locations. ## The decisions we make together.

Product reference ### Clear task status Make pending, sent and changed tasks distinguishable when coverage drops or assignments change. ### What we would define together We would agree responsibilities with operations, IT, warehouse managers and staff. The warehouse system handles orders, inventory and task assignment. The wrist device receives the current task and returns a confirmation or exception. Item checking follows the agreed site routine, with a selected scanner if needed. Interfaces, offline states and reassignment require clear decisions. The existing warehouse system supplies tasks. The T9’s 2.4-inch screen shows the current location, item and quantity, and returns a completion or shortage status after staff checks. External scanning equipment and its connection would be selected and integrated if required. ## From definition to a pilot. Define the use case. Build the prototype. Try it with the team.

Service illustration ### Build the first devices. A first batch could serve one warehouse, one working area and one team. Within the agreed scope, wrist devices and system connections would support the complete routine: issuing a device, receiving a task, picking, checking, confirming and ending the shift. Feedback should come from employees, team leaders and IT, not just from a smooth device demonstration. A warehouse worker checking a picking task on a T9 wrist terminal. Case study ### Try it. Plan the next batch. Resolve the first route’s issues before adding another area or warehouse. Network coverage, location rules, scanning methods and shifts can differ between sites and need review. Device configuration, training, spares and repeat orders should follow the version and workflow that the trial has established. ### What a first warehouse pilot needs. ### A terminal staff can wear at work Configure the wrist screen and strap around the trial task, then check handling boxes, reading, glove use and a complete shift. ### Tasks connected to the existing system Integrate task, completion, shortage and pending-submission states through agreed interfaces. Include selected scanning equipment only when required. ### A basis for the next warehouse Document configuration, training, device handovers and exception handling so trial feedback informs the next site and batch. ### How the task would work - 01 ### See the next location Read the location, item and required quantity from the assigned task. - 02 ### Pick and verify Use the agreed item-checking method before confirming the pick. - 03 ### Confirm or flag Complete the task or report a shortage without losing the current location. ### What the pilot should establish The pilot should test accurate task completion, matching system states and practical device management. Operations and IT would review the findings together before deciding on further warehouses. ## What should work better across your warehouses?
