Mobile Workforce through Voice

Built to guide mobile workers throughout facilities, Honeywell Voice gets them where they need to be, when they need to be there. The solution is based on an ergonomic headset, wearable mobile device and advanced software that utilizes “text-to-speech” and “speech-to-text” technology (currently available in 41 languages).

By converting warehouse management system information to speech, Honeywell Voice provides audible instructions to warehouse operators — directing them to the next location and guiding them through the required tasks or steps to complete processes, such as picking, inventory replenishment, maintenance and repairs.
