Methods, systems, and apparatuses for monitoring and improving productivity of a material handling environment

Abstract

Various embodiments described herein relates to techniques for providing real-time productivity information to a worker in a material handling environment. In this regard, for computing a productivity metric of the worker, a productivity metrics system may access various types of data. In this aspect, the productivity metric system may receive: order level data associated with multiple items identified for shipping; worker operation data associated with the workers and at least one workflow being operated by the workers; and dimensional data of the items being handled by the workers. The productivity metric system may compute the productivity metrics of the worker based on: the order level data, the dimensional data, the worker operation data, and a count of items handled by the worker. Further, the productivity metrics system may provide notifications including actionable insights indicative of actions to be performed by the worker.
