Significantly Improving the Efficiency of Order Picking: The Honeywell 8675i Rugged Compact Wearable Scanner
Within the ever-changing world of supply chain management, where accuracy and productivity are of the utmost importance, the Honeywell 8675i stands out as a revolutionary solution for order picking in the warehouse.
This durable, compact wearable scanner elevates operational productivity through the seamless integration of ergonomics, innovation, and durability.
Central to this technological achievement is the wearable scanner Honeywell 8675i, which has been specifically engineered to revolutionize the parameters of efficiency.
The device’s compact, ergonomic, and durable design guarantees its constant accessibility, thereby augmenting workflow efficiency. The 8675i eliminates the constraints of conventional devices by effortlessly scanning damaged or low-quality barcodes with its superior scanning capabilities.
Let’s dig in and see what the tangible benefits are of a ring scanner built with the quality you’ve come to expect from Honeywell.
FlexRangeâ„¢ Technology for Workflow Enhancement
One of the first standout characteristics of the 8675i is its FlexRangeâ„¢ technology, which expands the scanning distance to an extent that was previously only possible with more cumbersome portable devices.
By adjusting the distance from near-contact to 5 feet for 100% UPC and 33 feet for 100 mil Code 39, the device provides an effortless and rapid reading experience while responding intuitively to scanning requirements. A very suitable standard-range only option is also available for arms-length picking.
Redefining Ergonomics to Ensure User Comfort
Each component of the 8675i has been meticulously designed for better ergonomics.
The triggered ring can be easily converted between right and left hand configurations, accommodating a wide range of users.
Similarly, the strap glove can be instantaneously converted from a ring to a glove without the need for any tools, further accommodating a diverse user base.
The wearable accessories, constructed from non-absorbent materials, are simple to clean off with approved disinfectants once a rigorous shift wraps up.
Confronting Operational Obstacles Directly
And while we’re discussing rigorous shifts, the 8675i is designed to be used continuously across multiple shifts with its replaceable battery. This not only ensures the scanner remains operational but also prolongs its service life when subjected to routine usage.
Operational Intelligence from Honeywell also conveys critical data including Bluetooth connection status, battery life, and the necessity for battery replacement. This enables seamless management of a fleet of deployed 8675i devices.
8675i Ring Scanner Technical Specifications
The mechanical dimensions, weight, and scan performance of the 8675i serve as clear indicators of its technical proficiency, guaranteeing a smooth integration into operational configurations.
The device possesses IP65 encapsulation, a robust 2,000 x ± meter tumble specification, and a wide range of operating temperatures, rendering it well-suited to endure the challenges of high-speed environments.

Improve Warehouse Efficiency with Honeywell’s 8670 Wireless Ring Scanner
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.

Wearable Mobile Computers: A Hands-Free Advantage
Warehouses and Distribution centers 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 around 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.
A Honeywell survey stated that on average companies lose over $400,000 every year in picking errors. 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.
There are a variety of options when it comes to wearable mobile computers. Two of the industries leaders, Honeywell and Zebra, have options that could help turn around warehouse and distribution centers.
Honeywell’s rugged Dolphin 75-e 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.
Zebra’s WT6000 Wearable Computer fits comfortably on any size arm and with a large touchscreen that provides more real estate to display intuitive graphical Android applications. Pair it with the RS6000 Bluetooth ring scanner and users will have the technology to take their productivity level up a notch.
