Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for a supply chain entity having an inventory of one or more items and a warehouse management system receiving orders for one or more items, determining a container for the one or more items, and generating a packing plan for the items. Aspects of the embodiments may include one or more instruction rendering devices having a sensor and a displaying augmented reality instructions and feedback.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a supply chain entity comprising an inventory having one or more items;
- an instruction rendering device comprising one or more sensors and a display and configured to:
- display augmented reality instructions and feedback according to instructions generated according to a packing plan;
- overlay the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a physical location of a container, wherein the instruction rendering device repeatedly updates the physical location of the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to a progress of a user in following the augmented reality instructions according to the packing plan;
- display the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a detected movement of the container or a detected movement of the instruction rendering device;
- and
- identify on the instruction rendering device when one or more ordered items of the one or more items have been correctly placed and oriented in the container according to the packing plan.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, a current state of one or more items in a supply chain network comprising one or more supply chain entities, wherein an inventory of the one or more supply chain entities is used to store the one or more items;
- displaying, by an instruction rendering device, augmented reality instructions and feedback according to instructions generated according to a packing plan;
- overlaying, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a physical location of a container, wherein the instruction rendering device repeatedly updates the physical location of the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to a progress of a user in following the augmented reality instructions according to the packing plan;
- displaying, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a detected movement of the container or a detected movement of the instruction rendering device;
- and
- identifying on the instruction rendering device when one or more ordered items of the one or more items have been correctly placed and oriented in the container according to the packing plan.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with software, the software when executed configured to:
- receive a current state of one or more items in a supply chain network comprising one or more supply chain entities, wherein an inventory of the one or more supply chain entities is used to store the one or more items;
- display, by an instruction rendering device, augmented reality instructions and feedback according to instructions generated according to a packing plan;
- overlay, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a physical location of a container, wherein the instruction rendering device repeatedly updates the physical location of the augmented reality instructions and feedback according to a progress of a user in following the augmented reality instructions according to the packing plan;
- display, by the instruction rendering device, the augmented reality instructions and feedback in connection with a detected movement of one or more of the container and the instruction rendering device;
- and
- identify, by the instruction rendering device, when the one or more ordered items have been correctly placed and oriented in the container according to the packing plan.
