Wearable Scanning System
Breakthrough technology and ergonomics that revolutionize
productivity in the workplace
Tasks that involve the movement and tracking of physical objects
will never be the same again. Symbol Technologies has created the
ultimate workstation. Coupling powerful information gathering and
processing capabilities with simplicity and ease of use, it is
enabling quantum improvements in productivity while delighting
users with its comfort and light weight. The WSS 1000 Wearable
Scanning System. Nothing else comes close for form, fit and
function. Nothing else can so dramatically increase the efficiency
of your workplace.
Free to handle objects, free to go anywhere to gather and
communicate data instantly
Symbol Technologies' WSS 1000 Wearable Scanning System empowers
users to achieve totally new levels of productivity and accuracy.
At the same time, advanced ergonomics make the system easy to use
and comfortable to wear.
Never before could scanning, portable computing and wireless
networking be performed while the user's hands remained totally
free for handling packages, products, inventory or materials. The
WSS 1000 System also represents breakthroughs in miniaturization,
performance and data transmission. Already, its all-encompassing
capabilities are changing the definition of productivity and ease
of use in warehousing, transportation/logistics, manufacturing,
retailing and other industries.
Between index finger and forearm, a scanner and a
computer
The WSS 1000 System consists of two components. The RS 1 Ring
Scanner is worn on the index finger and activated by pointing the
finger at the barcode, while pressing
the thumb against a trigger at the base of the finger. Scanning is
performed by pointing the finger at the bar
code and activating the scanner by
pressing the thumb against a trigger at the base of the finger. The
RS 1 Ring Scanner is the smallest wearable laser scanner in the
world, weighing only 1.7 ounces/48 grams and standing just .9
inches/23 mm high.
The WSS 1000's computer is worn on the forearm, and includes a
CPU, display, keyboard, battery pack, and optional batch or
wireless communications:
- Spectrum One® - A fast, interference-free wireless
network solution featuring a high- performance cellular design for
reliable throughput while providing excellent long-range operation
and data security.
- Spectrum24® - Symbol's next-generation wireless LAN
featuring a more robust environment for larger, more complex
networks. This inherently secure architecture is ideal for
business-critical applications requiring high levels of data
throughput.
No compromise when it comes to performance
The WSS 1000 System is engineered to perform. The RS 1 Ring
Scanner features a rugged and reliable laser scanner that scans
quickly and accurately-even if the bar
code is damaged or poorly printed. Its
tiny scan engine permits a low profile design, allowing it to avoid
most bumps and knocks. But, we've given it a scratch-resistant
coating on the window just in case.
The wrist computer offers powerful information gathering,
processing and communications performance, yet is easy to use. It
features a programmable keyboard and backlit display, both
optimally positioned for effortless keypad input and viewing, even
in dimly lit environments. It weighs just 9.5 ounces/279 grams and
is powered by a long-lasting lithium ion battery. The ring scanner
and computer are connected via an unobtrusive, lightweight
cable.
Optimum design: High tech balanced by human touch
When it comes to productivity, comfort and ease of use are every
bit as important as performance. Symbol's design engineers
thoroughly tested the WSS 1000 Wearable Scanning System, putting it
through more than 40,000 user test hours with active participation
from customers. The result is maximum comfort and flexibility.
The RS 1 Ring Scanner fits fingers of all sizes and it's
reversible, allowing it to adapt equally well for right-and
left-handers. The lightweight WWC 1000 Wearable Wrist Computer
adapts to fit every wrist. Both the ring scanner and wrist computer
mount to straps that stay with each operator, eliminating worries
about hygiene. Safety's not a concern, either, because the ring
breaks away under 20 pounds/9 kg of pressure.
The WSS 1000 Wearable Scanning System from Symbol
Technologies: In handling-intensive, high-throughput environments,
it's what the empowered workforce is wearing.
Miniaturized ring scanner and wrist-mounted computer keep
operators' hands free for moving, picking, packing or receiving
packages, products or materials.

High-performance laser scanner and superior ergonomics allow
fast "aim-and-shoot" operation, even on poor quality bar
codes. Scanning range is from 4 inches
to 25 inches/10 cm to 64 cm.
|
|
Wrist computer has a 27-key alpha-numeric programmable keyboard,
4- or 8-line x 20-character display and RF data transmission for
advanced computing and communications. DOS compatibility means easy
integration.
|
|
Superior ergonomic design includes "personal" attachments for
hygiene, adjustable straps for comfort, ambidexterity for right or
left-handed operation, and breakaway feature.
