ProGlove MARK - the smart glove

ProGlove MARK is a glove with an integrated barcode scanner that helps save time in production and logistics processes.Whether complex production steps on the assembly line or small parts picking in the warehouse: every second counts in the process flows of industrial operations. The goal of ProGlove MARK is therefore to make production and logistics processes more efficient.

 

Pro Glove Mark 2

 

To do this, it replaces the traditional scan gun, which has so far cost the worker a lot of time by taking it to hand and placing it. ProGlove MARK, on the other hand, enables hands-free and thus efficient, safe and ergonomic work. It simplifies work processes, saves work steps and thus also reduces the risk of errors.

Thanks to Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, it finally makes you mobile: in combination with tablets, smartphones and other portable devices, you can work hands-free and station-independent. ProGlove MARK allows scanning and working at the same time and can read both 1D and 2D barcodes.

How ProGlove works

1 REGISTRATION

  • The access point is connected to the system-carrying hardware of the workstation via RS232 and works via plug&play.
  • With a simple scan of the barcode on the access point, MARK connects.
  • Depending on process requirements, one or more MARKS can be connected to an access point.

 

2 DATA TRANSFER

  • The Access Point receives the data from the barcodes scanned by MARK. It is connected to a PC, IPS, terminal or tablet via a USB or RS232 cable.

3 FEEDBACK

  • Information on the current process step is automatically given with MARK by visual, haptic and acoustic feedback to the hand.
  • Process specifications are fed back to the MARK module. Thus, errors are detected at an early stage.
