Vocollect Enhances Industrial Wearable Solution

Vocollect, a provider of voice-centric solutions for mobile workers, today announced continuing enhancements to its industrial wearable voice solution that further enable the emerging era of voice-enabled warehouses and distribution centers (DCs).

These latest enhancements support voice-centric operations for Eastern Europe and Asia-Pacific customers, while improving management capability and expanding the range of headsets offered for all Vocollect customers. Vocollect’s enhanced industrial wearable solution extends the ability of DCs and warehouses worldwide to implement voice-centric operations and achieve significant business benefits, including double-digit gains in productivity and accuracy.

Vocollect’s integrated industrial wearable voice solution is based on the combination of the Talkman T2x, T5 or T5m wearable voice appliance, SR or SRX series headsets, and a suite of supporting software. The newest capabilities include:

• Regional Expansion via VoiceClient 3.7: Extensions to Vocollect’s speech recognition and language functionality aid multilingual distribution environments and multicountry deployments. New language support includes Romanian, Slovak, Cantonese, Czech, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Mandarin Chinese, Turkish, and Thai, along with enhancements to many other supported languages. This brings the total languages that Vocollect currently supports to 36.
• Additional Operations Productivity and IT flexibility via VoiceConsole 3.2: Enhancements include a database-free version along with expanded platform support to give IT practitioners more options in the implementation of voice and device management in the warehouse. Further, a new battery asset capability helps to optimize and extend the life of device batteries by noting changes on an information display, enabling supervisors to quickly weed out aging, underperforming batteries. This increases overall productivity and reduces downtime.
• Additional Headset Options via the new SL-14 headset: This new, light industrial, behind-the-head headset is ideal for customers seeking a solution in high/seasonal turnover and less industrialized (non-freezer/less rugged) environments. The new headset features strong ergonomic benefits, with a lightweight and flexible design to accommodate diverse working styles, along with the same industry-leading speech recognition technology.
