A Honeywell survey stated that on average companies lose over $400,000 every year in picking errors. In order to combat these errors and help improve accuracy and efficiency companies are looking more towards wearable technology.

Select warehouses and distribution centers are the perfect example to look at as they are seeing wearable mobile computers revolutionize the industry. Providing increased flexibility, operational improvement, improved productivity, and significant cost savings. With wearable computers users will be free from the constraints of using one hand to carry a scanner or mobile computer; instead users will have the flexibility to work hands-free while still accessing the data they need to complete the tasks at hand. A hands-free user will be able to accelerate picking, packing, and shipping operations.

Honeywell’s rugged Dolphin 75e Wearable has a large display with flexible touchscreen keypads. The accessories provide increased comfort and improved hygiene over conventional wearables. Combine it with the 8620 Ring scanner to get a truly hands-free experience that is guaranteed to help improve productivity in the workplace. With these lightweight and compact computers, users will have a wide range of motion. This allows users to complete tasks in less time without losing the valuable accuracy that is needed.

Dolphin 75e Wearable Features:

• Multi OS: Flexible support and migration of Windows Embedded 8.1 Handheld or Android 4.4 KitKat, seamlessly upgrade later as business needs grow to Windows 10 or Android 5.0L
• 4.3 in large clear display with capacitive touchscreen provides outstanding readability and plenty of space for data and keypads.
• Increase productivity and throughput with an ergonomic ring scanner based on an industry-grade imager that provides high-performance scanning of linear and 2D barcodes.
• The watchband style armband improves comfort and eliminates hygiene concerns.
• The rubber watchband straps are comfortable, reduce sliding or rotating on the arm and don’t absorb perspiration.

The Dolphin 75e alone is a versatile multimodal device that can deliver significant operational gains and flexibility for the enterprise. With a sleek and pocketable design this handheld mobile computer is still durable enough for tough work environments featuring an IP67 rating for protection from dust and water and can withstand multiple drops to concrete of 4 feet (1.2 m). With flexible support for either Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise or Android 6.0 Marshmallow, enterprises will have the option to choose which OS best suits their needs. The Dolphin 75e comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with 2.26 GHz quad-core CPU that enables more robust application performance at better speeds and power efficiencies.

Combine the Dolphin 75e with the 8620 Ring Scanner and the comfortable watchband style armband and you’ll get yourself the Dolphin 75e Wearable Solution, a solution that will help increase productivity and throughput. The ergonomic ring scanner is based on an industry grade imager that provides high-performance scanning of linear and 2D barcodes. With Honeywell‘s Adaptus 6 imaging and decoding technology the 8620 Ring Scanner provides fast decode speeds, excellent motion tolerance and improved scanning performance on poor quality or damaged barcodes. With new soft rubber finger straps that are very comfortable and impervious to moisture so as to not absorb sweat. With quick and interchangeable finger straps that allow for easy cleaning and the ability for each user to have their own straps as to not share between shifts.  Using the rugged, enterprise-class Dolphin 75e mobile computer with purpose-built wearable accessories provides a new approach to enabling hands-free operations.

Regardless of the business size, everyone is looking to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their workforce. Mobile computing options have become more powerful and smaller allowing for wearable device solutions that make sense.

Wearable solutions provide a hands free experience for your workforce which has immediate efficiency results. From part picking and package handling to sortation and vehicle loading, any application that requires use of both hands is a great fit for a wearable device.

Historically, wearable solutions were bulky and required customization to software to deal with a stripped down interface. With Honeywell’s selection of wearable hardware this issue are part of the past.

Using the rugged enterprise class Dolphin 70e or Dolphin 75e mobile computer with purpose-built 8670 wireless ring scanner provides you with a new approach to enabling hands-free operations. The large display, flexible touchscreen keypads, and modern architecture allow you to easily deploy more user-friendly applications to quickly gain the productivity of hands-free operation.

The lightweight, wearable accessories provide increased comfort and improved hygiene over conventional wearables. And all components are breakaway for safety and easily swappable for left- or right-hand operation.

Honeywell is showcasing a wide range of solutions designed to help retailers improve the customer experience, enhance store associate productivity and improve profitability in the omni-channel environment at the National Retail Federation’s Big Show, running Jan. 17-20 in New York City’s Javits Center.

Retailers need to create a positive in-store experience for customers in order to build loyalty, increase sales and attract new shoppers. To make digital marketing programs more effective, Honeywell’s 2D scanners such as the Xenon 1900 and the Voyager 1450g simplify the process to redeem coupons from shoppers’ mobile devices.
