Where are wearables used?
Wearable scanners and portable mini-computers are used in numerous industries - wherever fast, mobile and hands-free data capture is required. They support the optimisation of work processes, reduce errors and increase efficiency.
Industry & logistics
Healthcare
Retail

How a wearable scanner works
Wearable scanners enable hands-free scanning of barcodes, QR codes and similar data carriers by wearing them directly on the body - e.g. on the finger, back of the hand or wrist.Whether picking, packing or stocktaking: Wearables reduce work interruptions and ensure a significant increase in productivity.
What advantages does a wearable scanner offer?
Wearable barcode scanners impress with their portability, efficiency and adaptability to a wide range of working environments. They enable ergonomic and productive mobile data capture, especially in warehouses, logistics, retail and industry.
The most important advantages at a glance:
✅ Portability
For easy easy integration into existing IT or ERP systems the scanners are equipped with wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth or WLAN equipped.
✅Longevity
Wearable scanners are robust and built for industrial use. They withstand dust, moisture and mechanical stress - perfect for use in harsh environments.
✅Increased efficiency
Thanks to the hands-free working employees can scan and pick, pack or sort at the same time. This reduces wasted time and significantly increases Productivity significantly.

Types of wearable scanners - the right model for every application
Wearable scanners are available in various designs that differ in terms of shape, functionality and ergonomics. Depending on the area of application - whether logistics, warehouse, retail or production - certain models are particularly suitable.1. Ring scanner
-
Order picking
-
Shipping and receiving
-
Applications with frequent item scanning
2. Back of the hand scanner
-
Warehousing and order picking processes
-
Environments with high scanning volumes
-
Activities with frequent changes between scanning and gripping
Goods that are stored high up
3. Wristband scanner
-
Pick-by-light or pick-by-voice systems
-
Assembly and production areas
-
Users with high mobility requirements
The different scanning technologies in wearable scanners
To enable fast, precise and application-specific data capture, wearable scanners are equipped with different scanning technologies. Depending on the area of application, 1D or 2D scanners are used.
1D barcode scanner (linear)
-
Product labelling in retail
-
Article numbers in warehouse management
-
Shipping labels in logisticsAdvantage: Fast, efficient and ideal for simple data records
2D barcode scanners (matrix)
2D scanners recognise both linear (1D) and two-dimensional barcodes, such as QR codes, Data Matrix or PDF417. These barcodes consist of geometric patterns of dots, squares or hexagons and enable large amounts of data to be encoded in a small area.
Typical applications:
-
Access systems and tickets (e.g. QR codes)
-
Device or medication labelling in the healthcare sector
-
Asset management and traceabilityAdvantage: More information capacity, readable even with small or damaged labels
