Augmented reality technologies application in the warehouse system

Warehousing objects are an integral part of distribution and reverse logistics. These are operational objects where goods are stored in the short or long term and eventually processed. Within each process-organized business, there is a group of inbound and outbound processes, and their implementation requires the optimal level of internal activities, in terms of speed and quality of performance in order to maintain the level of competitiveness in the market. Due to the increase in service quality level and following the development of Augmented Reality (AR) technology, auxiliary systems for logistics process optimization are gradually being developed. Augmented reality includes a visual perception of the real-world physical environment enhanced by computer devices. The paper analyzes relevant existing research in the field of AR application in warehouse facilities to optimize warehouse processes. The narrower purpose of the paper is to emphasize the possibility of increasing the quality level of warehousing processes by introducing AR technology. The paper concludes with highlighted guidelines for future research that will be focused on connecting the AR application to the performance of warehouse processes in specific working conditions.
