Wearable technology is becoming ever more popular within busy Warehouses for tasks such as Picking & Packing as they give workers the freedom of hands-free mobility required to boost productivity to higher levels. Hardware being secured to the operators arm or wrist also represents a lower risk of damage from droppages and therefore any downtime, repairs or maintenance costs are minimised through their deployment.
Data capture inputs can be carried out using familiar touch screen entry and these are also complimented with barcode scanners that are also worn across the fingers or on the back of the hand mounted on a glove. Wearable scanners can also be used to capture and send data to nearby Tablet PC's or Workstations across a Bluetooth connection giving them a wide roaming range within the workplace.
