Vocollect, Inc., a leader in voice-centric solutions for mobile workers, has introduced the Vehicle Mount Talkman solution, designed to help companies accelerate productivity and accuracy, improve ergonomics, and reduce operational costs with vehicle-based workflows in the distribution center (DC)/warehouse. The solution is commercially available in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia/New Zealand.

In a press release, Joe Pajer, president and chief executive officer, Vocollect, Inc., said, “The introduction of a third solution this year is the next step in turning our vision of the voice-enabled warehouse into reality. It immediately follows our earlier introduction of our light industrial solution and enhancements to our current industrial wearable solution. This latest Vocollect offering provides a cost-effective and more ergonomic alternative to traditional VMT computing solutions. As part of the voice-centric warehouse, it is designed specifically to help companies compete more effectively in a competitive global market by increasing worker productivity, accuracy and vehicle utilization rates.”

As a voice-centric solution, Vocollect’s Vehicle Mount Talkman voice solution eliminates the need for workers to continually look away from their vehicles’ paths to pause a workflow in order to receive assignments, to send data, or to manage a handheld, thus boosting overall productivity and accuracy. Typical vehicle-based workflows that may benefit from this voice-centric solution include put-away, replenishment, loading and selection.

Vocollect’s Vehicle Mount Talkman solution is based on its industry-leading Vocollect Voice software, a Talkman T5 voice appliance, vehicle mounting hardware, power adapters and an SRX wireless headset. With the Talkman mounted to and powered from the vehicle, users can move freely within a 20- to 30-foot radius of the vehicle to perform their tasks, communicating with the Talkman via the wireless SRX headset.

Vocollect was recently in news when it had announced that its Vocollect wireless headset, the SRX, was available on the Intermec (News - Alert) CK3 rugged mobile computer.
