Wearable technology for distribution centre

Honeywell has announced a versatile, hands-free, wearable solution engineered to drive efficiency, productivity and accuracy inside a warehouse or distribution centre.

“Distribution centre operators in Asia Pacific are looking for the most flexible, application-expandable and futureproofed solutions that are aligned with the changing needs of the industry,” said Lynn Huang, APAC head of marketing and strategy, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “With innovative technologies like wearable devices, Honeywell is able to deliver to both small and large customers based in the region the solutions that they need to remain competitive in a fast-changing environment both today and into the future.”

The wearable device is a hands-free, wrist-mounted version of the Dolphin 70e Black mobile device specifically designed for warehouse operations including picking, packing and shipping.

For information technology leaders looking for the benefits of hands-free operations but who cannot afford to re-engineer their devices, the Honeywell Wearable Solution is a cost-effective option that allows the use of a general-purpose device for a wide variety of enterprise applications.

Featuring a more comfortable and hygienic armband than conventional wearables, the Honeywell Wearable Solution is designed to be worn for extended periods of time and be shared easily between workers. With its large display, flexible touchscreen keypads, Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 operating system architecture and support for tethered and BT ring scanners, the Wearable Solution gives workers the freedom of movement to maximise workflow productivity.

The Honeywell Wearable Solution incorporates a combination of ergonomics, ruggedness and large screen size to empower workers with the hands-free convenience to handle more tasks with fewer disruptions to workflow.
