Automotive Industry Use Case 

Incorporating a total wearable scanning solution can provide valuable savings that add up quickly. An automotive plant can build upwards of 1,000 vehicles a day, with each vehicle requiring approximately 1,000 scans. Every second saved per scan can equal a total savings of 1,000,000 seconds per day, coming out to roughly 12 working days in one business day.

Wearable solutions can also help employees by minimizing the steps to scan and move items. For example, an employee needs to scan a 20-pound brake rotor. Using a scanner terminal, the employee picks up the scanner, scans the item, puts the scanner down, picks the item up, and places it onto a cart or pallet. A ring scanner eliminates the need to pick up and put down the scanner terminal.

Omnichannel Warehouse Use Case

Consumer Products Use Case

From the front of a store to the back, wearable technology is great for consumer product businesses. Backroom complexities can be lowered using all-in-one swappable batteries. One consumer products company went from only using handheld terminals to a completely wearable solution due to the increase in ecommerce and on-demand ordering.

Picking efficiency and productivity improved 15% by removing the unnecessary steps of picking up and putting down scanner terminals. Orders were easily seen and verified on wearable mobile host computer, with the ring scanners leaving hands available for picking items.

Some wearable mobile host computers can incorporate voice picking, where verbal commands are provided through a headset, directing employees to the specific products, which can also reduce employee training time.

Service Management Maximizes Your Time and Productivity

Create a total wearable scanning solution that will increase productivity and efficiency, saving your company money. With the technological advancements, wearable technology has greater accuracy for maximum performance and enhanced ergonomical designs.

Why Use Wearable Barcode Technology?

Wearable technology is optimal for many industries and can decrease unnecessary errors by up to 39%. Having been around for about 12-15 years, wearable tech started out tethered to help employees manage items that are bulky and heavy without having to pick up and put down barcode scanning devices.

As ecommerce picked up, speed and efficiency became more important to keep up with tasks. Wearable scanners have proven how they increased efficiency in picking when both hands are needed for heavy and bulky items. Why stop there? Micro-efficiencies that were previously dismissed can save time from the extra motions of picking up and putting down a mobile computer, or having to search for where it was last placed. 

Benefits of Using a Wearable Barcode Scanning Solution

Increasing Productivity

Micro-efficiencies save businesses money by saving employees time while performing work, increasing productivity. With wearable devices, fewer scanners and mobile computers are misplaced. Thousands of parts can be scanned per day on an assembly line easily and comfortably.

The ergonomic comfort, improved ruggedness, and advancements of software make wearable technology a more efficient alternative to standard handheld devices. Wearable devices are smaller and lighter with technological advancements, making them weigh less than conventional scanner terminals.

Mobile computers with independent hosts provide fast and reliable data without delay. This can decrease unnecessary errors by up to 39%. Fewer errors equal greater productivity and overall profits. And with having fast access to data, any errors found while scanning can be easily adjusted on the spot.

A laser-based ring scanner was tethered to a terminal due to the inability to power such a small device for a workable duration. Scanning was the sole purpose of the ring scanner, so if other information had to be reviewed or data needed input on the spot, everything had to pause to do so.

As technology has improved, so has the capabilities of wearable barcode device technology. Gone are the days of being tethered to a terminal. Wearable devices have also improved from being bulky and incapable of holding power to being ergonomic, Wi-Fi capable, and battery powered.

Moving into the Future of Wearable Technology

As technology has improved, so has the weight and bulk of barcode devices. Employees are more productive when wearable devices are light and ergonomic, yet accessible. Improved ruggedness means the devices can withstand typical wear and tear for scanning and picking in many industries, including manufacturing and warehouses.

Ergonomic comfort, improved ruggedness, and advancements of software make wearable technology a more efficient alternate to standard handheld devices. Match a ring scanner with a wearable host/terminal. The wearable WT6300 host computer even has the option for a tactile snap on keypad for easy data entry at your employees’ fingertips.

Moreover, a worker doesn’t need an injury to become a drag on operations. Current scanning systems can often slow performance and negatively impact the workforce due to ongoing and nagging usage and ergonomic difficulties.

One outcome is abundantly clear when viewed through warehouse performance at all levels: the need for better, faster, accurate, safe scanning of warehouse inventory. That day has arrived …

Fast, Accurate, and Safe Wearable Scanning is Job One (As well as Jobs, Two, Three, and Four)

Better technology is essential for efficient operation, order fulfillment, and inventory management.
Warehouse operations and logistic centers have three key problem areas when it comes to their current scanning needs:

1. Difficulty scanning: current wearables are not up for the job; scanners often break, causing downtime and being out of service when they are needed most.
2. Scanning distance: challenges often exist when reading racks, product labels, and pick tickets from the vantage point of fork trucks.
3. Barcode reading issues: low quality, damaged barcode readings require extra time a warehouse worker simply doesn’t have (and a warehouse operation can’t afford.)

Fortunately, the solution is literally right at your fingertips …

The Honeywell 8675i Wearable Scanner is the Answer

Advanced Technology Leads The Way. Again.

The Honeywell 8675i Wearable Scanner is outfitted with two significant technology advances. Here’s a quick overview of each:

Your warehouses and workforce need to be well-equipped for the challenges this e-commerce age presents. 

Wearable technology solutions are one giant step for your labor force and your warehouse in making them both more ready for the future of e-commerce and its impact on your operations and warehouse.

Wearable solutions are made to be worn by your workforce and support speed, efficiency, and repetitive motion all which boost the productivity of your warehouse.

DEFINING WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

Wearable technology is worn on the body of a person and provides a hands-free picking solution. Wearable technology provides comfort alongside value because it frees up both hands allowing workers to use two when picking heavy or unwieldy items. Instead of trying to carry (or balance) both their hand terminal and the item itself; or having to scan or log the item and then find a place to rest or place their handheld device, they can create one streamlined process and motion by the wearable device being attached to their hand, wrist, or arm.

Now, your workforce can capture the information while not slowing down the actual physical process of picking the order.  The short of it is this: wearable technology allows workers to pick more orders, more accurately and more efficiently.

THE BENEFITS OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

Consider how many deliveries that person makes in a day. This is a lot of inefficiency and repetitive motion built up over the course of an entire workday, which builds up over a week, etc. It’s not different for your warehouse worker who is up and down the lanes picking orders trying to juggle their handheld and mobile devices alongside picking and carrying inventory from point A to point B, trying to stay both efficient and accurate.

When workers free up their hands, they can complete more tasks and productivity increases. In freeing up both hands, you allow workers to use both hands to pick those heavy and unwieldly items. You improve their physical mobility while also increasing the mobility of the device itself. Wearable scanners reduce injury that is due to the repetitive motion that a gun-style scanner requires to operate. All in all, you end up with a more efficient operation (and increased longevity of your devices and your labor.)

GETTING STARTED WITH WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

If you are looking to start developing your wearable technology solution, we recommend you begin with a wearable terminal and a ring scanner.  Zebra has the WT600 a wearable computer. The WT600 prioritizes comfort, coming in smaller and lighter than other computer wearables. It has a rugged design, ensuring maximum uptime in the toughest environments. Honeywell also offers terminals in similar form factor, such as their CT40 or CT60.

These are compatible with the last five Android generations and allow companies to test and validate applications once, accelerate enterprise-wide deployment, optimize device performance, and simplify maintenance. And keep your eyes on the future with wearable computers such as the HD4000 which is a head-mounted display. These are not yet commonly being used, but it is only a matter of time.

For ring scanners, there is Zebra’s RS5100 which represents the next generation of ring scanners. This ring scanner is practically weightless, has different trigger models, and is designed to fit onto the wearer’s fingers, across the back of their hand, or on a lanyard. It provides first-time capture of barcodes regardless of their condition. Alternative to the ring scanner there is a wearable scanner the ProGlove Mark 2. It comes in two convenient scanning ranges to fit your operational needs and connects to tablets, smart watches, or wearable terminals via Bluetooth, USB, and RS 232.

The future is upon us and there is no time like the present to make your workforce and warehouse ready.

You are already feeling the onslaught of order and fulfillment. It is time to equip your workforce, so they have the advantage of speed, efficiency, and lower physical stress from repetitive motion. You can increase your productivity, decrease your errors, and free up your workforces’ hands by getting started with your wearable technology solution. Contact us. We can get you suited up with wearable terminals and scanners and your workforce and warehouse a little more prepared for the future.
