Smart Glove for more Efficiency: DENSO WAVE EUROPE launches robust SF1 Wearable

The new SF1 Wearable from DENSO, part of the Toyota group, is a combination of a scanner and a glove mount that can be worn comfortably on the wrist. Users, for example, in warehousing and logistics, can work with both hands, therefore increasing work safety. The scanner from the experts for mobile data collection is extremely robust and does not only increase safety, but also improves efficiency, especially in logistics and warehouse management systems. More information on scanners and handhelds, RFID, solutions for mobile data collection, the QR Code, and DENSO WAVE EUROPE can be found at https://www.denso-wave.eu.

Düsseldorf. In a warehouse management and order picking environment, work safety is not the only thing that plays a major role. Ergonomic aspects must also be considered, as well as work efficiency. They both heavily influence daily operations. In addition, companies are now focusing more and more on employee satisfaction.

DENSO WAVE EUROPE, part of the Toyota group, has reacted to the demands of the market and is now ready to launch a smart glove – the SF1 Wearable. Kaber Kolioutsis, Marketing Communication Specialist at DENSO WAVE EUROPE, explains: “The biggest advantage of our new wearable is that users have both hands free. This makes tasks much easier, for example order picking, and also helps increase work safety.” More information about scanners and handheld terminals, RFID and NFC, Auto-ID, solutions for mobile data collection, the QR Code, and DENSO WAVE EUROPE are available at https://www.denso-wave.eu.

Due to its Magnesium frame, the Scanner is both robust and very light

Furthermore, because its inner frame is made of magnesium, the SF1 Wearable from DENSO WAVE EUROPE, part of the Toyota group, is extremely robust, which is an essential feature in warehousing and logistics. The newest scanner from DENSO WAVE EUROPE can withstand up to 3,000 drops from a height of half a metre. What makes magnesium special is that it is not only very robust but also very light. Hence, the SF1 Wearable by the specialists for mobile data collection scores both with its robustness and its light weight.

Ergonomic Design and intuitive Working thanks to the smart Scanner

The ergonomic design of the SF1 Wearable from DENSO WAVE EUROPE, part of the Toyota group, is another advantage. In comparison to ring scanners, where the entire weight of the scanner rests on the fingers, the very light 80 grams of the SF1 Wearable from DENSO WAVE EUROPE are evenly distributed over the whole hand of the worker. Kolioutsis adds: “Users of the SF1 Wearable can work intuitively, because the device indicates by vibration, or by the flashing of different LEDs or even a beep, if the corresponding barcodes have been scanned correctly. That is a great advantage especially in very loud surroundings, which are typical for logistics and warehousing.” Furthermore, the battery performance of up to 24 hours is a clear advantage of the modern smart glove from DENSO WAVE EUROPE, as numerous processes, for example in logistics and warehousing, can be carried out without any interruptions. The SF1 Wearable from DENSO WAVE EUROPE, part of the Toyota group, is also compatible with many smart devices. For example, it can easily be connected to a PC, tablet or smartphone via a Bluetooth connection. iOS, Windows and Android are all supported.

High-speed Scanning of Codes from every Direction

Since the SF1 Wearable by the experts for mobile data collection makes high-speed scanning possible, employees, for example, in logistics and warehousing, save a great deal of time. In addition, barcodes and QR Codes can be read even if they are damaged or if they are not printed on paper but displayed on a mobile telephone screen. The users, for example, in warehousing and logistics, do not have to twist their hands uncomfortably to do this. Instead, they can simply point the SF1 Wearable from DENSO WAVE EUROPE, part of the Toyota group, in the direction of the code as omnidirectional scanning is possible. And if a code is hard to reach, the SF1 Wearable simply becomes a mobile scanner: Once it has been removed from the wearable attachment, the scanner can continue to be used wirelessly. This design of the modern smart glove is patent pending. The SF1 Wearable from DENSO WAVE EUROPE is also IP54 certified against dust and water, and it can be used at temperatures between -20 and +50 degrees Celsius.

Clients from Logistics and Warehouse Management are convinced by the SF1 Wearable

“Some of our clients, for example, from transport and logistics, production or warehouse management sectors have already tried and tested our robust SF1 Wearable and they are convinced by its advantages. With this innovation, working in logistics and warehouse management reaches a whole new level,” Kolioutsis sums up.
