This work aims to explore the environmental and human factors affecting productivity of warehouse operators in material handling activities. The study was carried out in a semi-automated logistic hub and the data collection has been conducted using wearable sensors able to detect human-related variables such as heart rate and human interactions, based on a smartwatch combined with a mobile application developed by the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence. Preliminary analysis has shown that the interaction between the warehouse operators and the team leader significantly affects the productivity.
