MicroVision coming to one undisclosed center.

now if they could use RFID chips to put on package labels with the use of this technology we could find the missing package that ORION says is in sec 7 at 10 am

You jest but there was talk of doing just that-----incorporating RFID technology in to our shipping labels----a few years ago.

Forget RFID on the packages. I want an RFID in my DIAD and then a second button on my keyless remote to set off a beeper on my DIAD for when I set it down in my truck and can't find it again. Happens too often.

Get your self some fluorescent orange paint! I wanted to do that for years (but never did).

I don't think my management team would appreciate me defacing UPS property.

But, look at the time you would save.

You mean all the time I would be giving back? Because I get paid to look for that damn thing.

Shares of MicroVision jumped more than 15 percent in early morning trading after the Redmond company inked a deal with shipping giant UPS. UPS is deploying the PicoP at an undisclosed U.S. facility, noting that the projection module will be used in conjunction with UPS scanning systems.

Nice pump and dump. Up 15% down 24%.

I don't own MicroVision.

I don't own MicroVision.

I didn't mean to infer that you were the initiator. It was just a textbook pump and dump (lousy stock, seemingly significant press release, temporary pop in price, pumpers sell, price drops, still a lousy stock).

Do you wonder if UPS can make Mircovision work at this undisclosed center? UPS might buy the Mircovision the entire company just to keep such technology away from Amazon ,FED EX, etc. Who knows maybe Mircovison patent portfolio has value that UPS can use or keep away from competitors?

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone using this technology. It looks interesting. Can you imagine pointing a DIAD toward an address and having it project the address on the windshield or having a fixed overhead camera display a sort position rather than requiring a paper label? I can think of all kinds of uses of the technology but don't know what UPS is evaluating. What kinds of uses do you envision? I would pick up a couple thousand shares before I'd gamble my dollars away at a casino. Still gambling in a way but with better odds.

I always preferred Intellivision, personally.

Great....more crap to go wrong.

I see something like this down the road. The UPS version will have verbal instructions such as stop apporaching. 18th stop here, 7 packages on 1800 shelf for delivery. Next stop is 1/4 mile away, turn right on Rodeo Dr, etc.

The pussification of UPS continues.

My 31st day I was told to bring a map and a sense of humor. Thats how you learned, thats how you became good at this job.

Yesterday, a kid with literally 40 days on the job says to me (of the route next to mine) "the only thing I don't like about this route is that the truck is a stick-shift". I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

That's what I say all the time. Except I've been on the job 9 yrs. When I started we had 2 automatics. Now we only have 2 stick shifts.

For reals I found a package in the yard and walked it into the building to the bay door it used to be when I was a loader. I ask the kid loading if it was the right trailer and he said he had no idea and scanned it then told me it wasn't. LOL

For reals, I like that one, that's funny dude

 

[OPTION3]

That way, UPS can get any untrained individual to do your job.

Because its worked so well with the ORION implementation teams

 

[jumpman23]

Yeah their certainly dumbing down the job, now you have to look forward to HELLEN KELLER and STEVIE WONDER loads everyday not just a couple days a week lmfao.
