Overview:

Bar code scanning has made data collection fast and accurate but sometimes operators aren't provided the right tools for the job - and that can reduce productivity gains that might otherwise be realized. Many warehouse tasks require an operator to physically handle products. A hand-held computer isn't always the best choice in these situations. Wearable computers, on the other hand, can improve productivity in any operation that requires that the operator's hands and eyes be dedicated to the task at hand. But providing the worker with the right form factor is only one issue. The other important factors are ruggedness and ease of use. Without these two additional factors, reliability and usability suffer - and so does productivity.
