| Method | Pro | Con |
| Display-via-screen | - Less effort - Low cost | - Not all information on needed position - No display directly on the workpiece |
| Pick-by-light | - Little experience required - Visual information directly on storage shelf - Simple presentation of information | - No precise information for the worker - Position on workpiece only in x-direction |
| Pick-by-vision | - Independent of location - 3D and 2D information - Directly in the worker’s field of view | - Limitation due to glasses - Limited battery life of the glasses - Limited acceptance by users |
| Display-via-projector | - Information in the most detailed way - Directly in the worker’s field of view - The worker does not have to wear any equipment | - Shadow casting impairs presentation of information - High costs - Much effort for reconstruction and maintenance |
| Display-via-laser projection | - Directly in the worker’s field of view - The worker does not have to wear any equipment | - Shadow casting impairs presentation of information - High costs - Much effort for reconstruction and maintenance - Not much detailed information can be transferred |
