Business value

Wrist-mounted scanners let warehouse workers scan barcodes without juggling a separate device. This feature eliminates repetitive motions and can save three to five seconds per scan. With real-time feedback and an ergonomic design, wrist-mounted scanners help reduce picking and packing errors. Some organizations see up to a 27% improvement in picking accuracy. The lightweight, wearable design reduces physical strain and fatigue. This reduction leads to higher worker satisfaction and lower injury risk. The value of this design is especially high in environments with high turnover or labor shortages.
