Wearable code scanners
Wearable scanners, also known as wearable scanners, are wireless code readers worn on the finger or hand, designed for intensive mobile work. They provide maximum ergonomics, freedom of movement and high productivity in warehousing, logistics, e-commerce and order picking processes.

Application areas of wearable code scanners
Wearable scanners, also known as wearable scanners, are handheld code sc anners designed to work without holding a conventional reader in the hand. These devices are attached directly to the operator’s finger or hand, making it possible to quickly scan codes while performing other activities.
Thanks to Bluetooth wireless communication, the wearable scanners work with mobile terminals, tablets and WMS warehouse systems. This form of operation significantly reduces operation time, reduces operator fatigue and improves ergonomics in processes requiring a large number of repetitive scans.
Wearable scanners are particularly effective in environments where speed, mobility and working with both hands are important.
The most common applications include:
- Order picking – warehouses, e-commerce, distribution centers
- Sorting and cross-docking – quick identification of shipments and containers
- Warehouse logistics – receipts, discharges and inventories
- Commerce and self-service – mobile process support
- Highly dynamic environments – where every second counts
Thanks to “hands-free” operation, the operator can scan codes and manipulate goods at the same time, which translates into real productivity gains.
