Hands free scanning improving operator efficiencies
The involvement and contribution of the workforce in production and warehousing operations is both demanding and crucial to the success of the business, and as direct labour, one of the highest cost factors.
These workers are the back bone of the operation, but are they working efficiently?
In applications where there is the need for regular scanning of barcodes, the workforce are typically deployed with traditional scanners attached to PCs, or may have hand-held computers, all of which require the constant process of handling items, putting down of items, scanning of items, re-handling of items before placing it in the next location.
This constant repetition is one of key factors in less than acceptable performance from many operators, especially temporary workers employed during peak periods or seasons.
Now workers can benefit from hand free scanning with the introduction on ring scanners that enable workers to continue operations without the constant needs for setting down the scanner, these benefits are best realised in the following businesses and applications:
Business: Retailers, 3rd Party Logistics, Distribution/Warehousing, Manufacturing
Applications: Order picking, Order packing, Loading, Put-away
Hand Free Ring Scanners
Bluetooth ring scanners are a comfortable and easy to implement productivity tool for all mobile operators who regularly need to scan barcodes. They are typically a small, lightweight ring scanner that rests on the finger, with the Bluetooth module worn comfortably on the wrist reliably transmitting critical data from 30-100 feet away allowing operators to gain unsurpassed freedom of movement reading barcodes quickly, safely and comfortably - all while keeping both hands free to perform tasks.
Bluetooth ring scanners are equally at home in warehouses, manufacturing facilities and retail stores. Tough but lightweight the solution is ideal for any environment where mobile workers are scanning barcodes. When used with a Bluetooth enabled hand-held, wearable, truck mount or desktop computers, operators are up and running in seconds and include a rechargeable battery delivering around 8 hours, a full-shift operation
