Tiivistelmä
The target of this thesis is to study how augmented reality (AR) can streamline warehousing processes and intralogistics solutions in logistics companies operating in Vietnam. Although AR technology has become widely common in some industries such as video game and medical science, this has not yet been the case in logistics. Comprehending the technology application to logistics, therefore, is challenging, yet intriguing. Interviews with six logistics managers have been conducted regarding warehouse activities, plus there was an inspiring trip to an actual warehouse.
Theoretical framework of this thesis is built on the general observations of Vietnamese logistics industry as well as practical opportunities and challenges. Most important socio-economic and technological trends and innovations in logistics are introduced as well more detailed information about augmented reality and how it is applied to intralogistics.
This thesis is based on a qualitative research and the main methodological approach is conducting structured interviews in 6 companies from April to June 2020. Target of the data analysis was to form a better idea of the activities in warehouses in Vietnam at the moment, how and where in the process AR technologies could be utilized and the level of willingness of the warehouse managers to implement this kind of technology in the future.
The last part of thesis gives some recommendations of AR implementation to some companies in the survey. This is essential when the competition among these companies has become more intense. The findings might, therefore, be applied to other companies in the industry and even to the ones outside Vietnam.
