Logistics and operations managers are always evaluating ways to improve their order picking operations. While there are numerous picking studies, currently there is a void in research focused on improving productivity and efficiency for putting-type warehousing tasks such as receiving, storing, and shipping. Studies have shown that the logistics industry demonstrates significant improvement when using head mounted display solutions for order picking tasks. However, little research has been completed on the comfort of head mounted displays such as smart glasses and how to alter them to increase their product lifecycle. Altered Vuxiz® glasses are used in this work to study comfort, preference, and performance while executing common logistical order picking and shipment putting tasks. The impact of design type (weighted front, side, or back) was investigated using comfort rating scales. Device preference surveys, the participants adjustments made to the glasses and task performance were also captured. There was no significant difference in device preference regardless of task type. Despite the side weighted arrangement being the most comfortable, the participants still were uncomfortable. For companies considering investing in smart glasses, other alternatives should be considered to extend the lifecycle of head mounted display devices.

物流和运营经理一直在评估改善订单拣选操作的方法。尽管有大量的拣选研究，但目前尚无研究集中在提高生产率和效率上，以解决诸如接收，存储和运输之类的放置式仓储任务。研究表明，当使用头戴式显示解决方案执行订单拣选任务时，物流业显示出了显着的进步。然而，关于诸如智能眼镜之类的头戴式显示器的舒适性以及如何改变它们以增加其产品寿命的研究还很少。在执行常见的后勤订单拣选和装货任务时，在工作中使用了经过改装的Vuxiz®眼镜，以研究舒适度，偏好和性能。设计类型的影响（加权的正面，侧面，或背部）使用舒适度量表进行了调查。还捕获了设备偏好调查，参与者对眼镜的调整和任务执行情况。不管任务类型如何，设备首选项都没有显着差异。尽管侧面配重装置最舒适，但参与者仍然不舒服。对于考虑投资智能眼镜的公司，应考虑其他替代方案以延长头戴式显示设备的使用寿命。
