Wearable Scanners
Definition of Wearable Scanners
Wearable scanners are a faster, hands-free replacement for traditional hand-held scanners. They are designed to let workers use both hands to perform their other duties while scanning different objects.
Read MoreWearable scanners drastically improve workforce productivity and flexibility while reducing errors caused by repetitive actions in workspaces; for example, in the aviation industry, baggage handling agents can conveniently use both hands to move baggage while performing the scanning. These devices are defined by their ergonomic, compact, ease-of-use and durable design. Wearable scanners can be categorized into Glove scanners, Ring scanners and Wrist scanners.
Glove Scanner
This type of wearable scanner consists of a small, lightweight scanner that sits on the back of the hand with the help of specially designed hand gloves.
Read MoreGlove scanners help workers perform scanning jobs without the need to reach for a handheld scanner. Glove scanners are completely wireless and have an ergonomic wearable design (e.g. breathable textiles) which ensures minimal fatigue. Glove scanners typically have the capability to integrate with mobile computer solutions or smartphones to process the captured data.
Ring Scanner
Ring scanners are one type of wearable scanner that are worn on fingers. This compact scanner is normally mounted on a trigger assembly that is directly contacted with human skin.

Wrist Scanner
Like ring scanners, wrist scanners are light and low-profile scanners that are worn on wrist or arm. They either operate as a stand-alone computer device for capturing and processing data or integrate with other mobile computer solutions.
