INITIAL SITUATION
Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (HBC), one of the largest
bottlers for The Coca-Cola Company in terms of volume with
sales of more than two billion unit cases every year. At Coca-Cola
HBC’s distribution center based in Thessaloniki Greece, a team
of 12 pickers collects multi-product orders. Crates, shrink-foiled
bottle packs and cans are packed onto pallets for the delivery
trucks. For order picking they use a tablet mounted on the pallet
jack and RF guns.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Constantly exploring new technologies that help optimize Coca-Cola HBC’s logistics processes and increase
customer service level, Coca-Cola HBC identied the opportunity to switch to smart glasses and assisted
reality (AR) solutions targeting to improve picking quality and pallet packing accuracy in the warehouse.
Productive use
Thanks to TeamViewer’s innovative
technology and excellent collaboration,
we were able to improve our productivity
while at the same time increase our picking
quality and thus our customer satisfaction.
It could not be better.“

TEAMVIEWER SOLUTION
CONVINCING BENEFITS
To optimize their processes, Coca-Cola HBC chose
to implement the industry-proven TeamViewer
solution xPick running on robust RealWear HMT-1
smart glasses. The pickers are shown the picking
items, picking locations and quantities right in their
eld of view. To conrm they picked from the right
location, they scan a QR-code placed above the pal
-
let with the smart glasses’ camera. This leaves the
picker’s hands free for the actual task. The orders
are displayed in a step-by-step manner as Coca-Co
-
la’s SAP production system and warehouse man-
agement system were connected to the solution,
to deliver the order data. In this way, the system is
also automatically updated about the status of all
individual orders.
After two months of the vision picking implementa-
tion, the picking performance tends to increase by
approximately 6-8% - aiming to reach 100% accuracy.
With using the TeamViewer solution, Coca-Cola HBC
further enhanced the customer satisfaction and im
-
proved CAPEX compared to former scanner technol-
ogy and pallet jack mounted ruggedized tablets.
Also, the pickers are satised with the new solution.
Before the deployment, they tested a pick-by-voice
solution and other technologies and voted for a
vision picking solution. All these benets of xPick,
including the easy scalability of the solution, were
so convincing that Coca-Cola HBC is planning to
deploy in total at eight dierent sites.
