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 therfore any downtime, repair and maintenance costs are minimised through their use.
Data inputs can be carried out using familiar touch screen devices and these are complimented by barcode scanners that are also worn across the fingers or on the hand within a glove. These types of scanners can also be used to input data to nearby Tablet PC's or Workstations across a Bluetooth connection giving them a wide roaming range within the workplace.
