Ocado IQ App Review: Features and Uses of the Handheld App for AMR Fulfillment
Updated: 7 days ago
The Ocado IQ App brings Ocado's AMR-directed workflows to handheld devices. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Not every item fits on a Chuck. The IQ App runs on Android handhelds with 5-inch or larger screens and lets associates pick in narrow aisles, at height with cherry pickers or forklifts, and for bulky items. It mirrors the AMR display, auto-pairs with the nearest priority AMR and hands off to the next in queue. Workflows include picking, putaway, pick-and-pass and exceptions, and managers see live dashboards remotely. Ocado claims up to 25% fewer fulfillment mistakes without explaining the basis.
