See what slows your warehouse down

Understand how workers visually navigate picking, packing, and verification tasks.
Eye tracking reveals where attention is directed during everyday warehouse operations, helping you identify inefficient processes, missed information, and opportunities to improve performance. 

Why eye tracking

Your warehouse data shows where time is lost. Eye tracking helps reveal why.

Warehouse performance data can show where delays or errors occur, but not always what happens while a task is being completed. Two workers may complete the same pick differently, searching between a screen, shelf, location code, and product information before making a selection. 

Eye tracking captures gaze alongside a first-person view of the task. Combine visual behavior with task times, errors, and worker feedback to understand how work is carried out and identify opportunities for improvement.

Benefits

Key benefits

Uncover opportunities to improve warehouse operations

Use gaze data to investigate how workers find information, verify tasks, and apply experience during real-world workflows. 

  • Visual search 

    See how workers locate bins, labels, products, and other task-relevant information to identify where searching creates unnecessary friction. 

  • Repeated checking 

    Identify when attention moves repeatedly between instructions, devices, products, and locations to uncover inefficient task sequences. 

  • Critical information 

    Understand whether important labels, instructions, and prompts receive attention and when they are viewed during a task. 

  • Expert routines 

    Compare how experienced and less experienced workers approach the same workflow to identify strategies that can inform training and onboarding. 

  • First-person review 

    Review gaze recordings with workers to add context to actions, decisions, and moments that may be difficult to recall after a task. 

  • Workflow evaluation 

    Compare gaze, task time, and accuracy before and after changes to labels, instructions, layouts, or processes.
