Many of these scanners are handheld models that are constantly picked up and put down as needed, but <a href="http://www.proglove.de/">ProGlove</a> offers an alternative with the barcode scanner that’s fitted on the back of a glove. I chat with Aaron from ProGlove as the company brings to the scanner to the UK.<br />
<a href="http://geeknewscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/proglove.jpg"></a>Even to someone who doesn’t work in this space, the benefits are obvious. A worker isn’t constantly picking up and putting down the scanner and the scanner comes with the worker without any thought; it doesn’t get left behind on a shelf. It’s ingenious and solves a couple of problems in one go. The scanner follows all the major standards and integrating the ProGlove scanner into an existing setup should be straightforward.<br />
ProGlove have already worked with a number of <a href="http://www.proglove.de/customers/">big names</a> – Audi, BMW, Skoda, John Deere, Bosch – so it looks like they’ve a good thing going here.<br />
