Why Wearable Mobile Computers are Being Widely Adopted

In a recent Honeywell wearables roundtable, we spoke in depth about different applications and setups that work the best for our customers and partners. It’s highly recommended that you watch the webinar recording as a starting point for wearables in general.

Watch Bluestar’s excellent unboxing video below to see the Honeywell CW45 in action:

The Honeywell 8670 Wireless Ring Scanner brings a lot of versatility to the mobile warehouse worker. Its 1D and 2D scanning performance, fast decoding, and ability to read poor-quality or damaged barcodes make it the best in the industry.

Key Benefits of the 8670 Ring Scanner vs. Competing Devices

A few things to highlight about the Honeywell 8670 ring scanner are its lower ring scanning profile, lack of ring spin, and comfortable fit. See the 8670 in action below.

Lower Profile Ring Scanning

The Honeywell 8670 ring scanner has a much lower profile than the Zebra RS507.  In other words, it sits lower on your finger.  This is important because with this device you’ll be doing lots of piece picks, case picks, etc.  With a lower profile ring scanner, you are much less likely to hit the scanner on the bin/racking when reaching into a bin/racking to pick something. Rack hits = frustrated operator, progress disruption, damaged scanner.

No Ring Spin

The scanner button on the Honeywell 8670 does not sit below the finger.  So when you pick up a box, the scanner stays put. If the button sits below your finger, the scanner will spin every time you pick up a box.  So you’ll have to readjust your scanner after every pick. Life with a scanner that does not take this into account turns a 2 step process into a 3 step process.

Step 1: Scan item.

Step 2: Pick up box.

Step 3: Re-adjust ring scanner.

Comfortable, Secure Fit

Practice putting the ring scanner on until you’ve got it down to one smooth motion.  This also applies to the wearable computer.

First impressions go a long way, and if your workers continue to fumble with the scanner trying to put it on, this greatly diminishes the productivity that you are trying to capture in your business.

There’s no mistaking that new market dynamics require greater fulfillment speed. Outdated hardware platforms and Windows mobile operating systems were not designed for the e-commerce and the workforce demands of today’s warehouse. Keep up with growing demands of e-commerce with Zebra’s advanced mobile devices to improve productivity and visibility of your supply chain.

The warehouse is evolving:

1. E-commerce is placing greater efficiency demands on warehouses. The sheer volume of items ordered is expected to spike by 76% by 2020.
2. Consumers expect swift delivery for online purchases. By 2021, 78% of logistics providers expect to offer same day delivery.
3. Competition for labor makes keeping pace difficult. Warehouses face an ongoing need to train and retrain due to labor shortages, high turnover, and reliance on temporary help.

Warehouses need more advanced mobile computing functionality such as:

• Intuitive all touch terminal emulation
• Faster data capture
• Greater processing power
• Faster Wi-Fi Speeds
• More robust security
• Stable parts replacement

Your safest strategy is to modernize your mobile technology now. Equipped with modern devices, your warehouse can keep up with growing demands of e-commerce, increase fulfillment speed and accuracy, and shorten training times. Contact Barcodes to see how we can help you keep up with the growing demands of e-commerce at the warehouse.

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.
